Search engine giant Google has launched 'Web Accelerator', which is designed to run alongside a surfers browser while speeding up website loading through use of Google's own servers.

The software works with IE/Firefox and combines a combination of intelligent website caching with compression to make websites appear to load faster, albeit more viable for dialup users.

The toolbar also monitors the users browsing habits to determine what pages you're most likely to read, thus keeping them instantly ready for use.

Some issues with security and caching have been raised, although the software is still in beta (development).
