Make your favorite website (facebook, pandora, etc…) faster using Mozilla Prism

April 21st, 2009 by joey | 1 Comment | Filed in Hacks, really cool

You know how you get too many tabs open in Firefox and things start to slow down, reaching the point of cold molasses after a while. Well Mozilla Prism is the answer. It is a stripped down, lean and mean version of Firefox that is designed to make that one web app lightning fast. Unlike Firefox, it isn’t designed for web browsing, rather it is designed to view a sinlge website at a time. Dedicating resources on your computer to that site, and that site only. Making it run significantly faster.

It is super super easy to use. Just install it, and now when you are visiting the website you want to make FAST just click “Tools -> Convert Website to Application” It creates a shortcut on your desktop that launches that website in Prism at lightning speeds. It takes almost no space on your computer, if firefox crashes your web app inside prism keeps running. And it solves world hunger… Well not really but it’s cool.

I use it for Pandora and my task manager. But you can use it for ANYTHING.
