While I understand the importance of the whole IPv6 thing, I think we’re not quite there yet and we’re definitely not supposed to suffer browsing the web!

So if you’re a firefox user, do yourself a favour:
about:config

network.dns.disableIPv6 

double click it to enable

and you won’t see the “looking up” status for longer than a second instead of 3 seconds it usually takes.

additionally, make these true:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining

change this one to “20“:

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

and add this:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay

with a string value of “0”

Happy browsing!
