Google is at it again. This time the company has released a beta application called Google Web Accelerator (GWA), and its name surely hints at its function. GWA is available for Win XP or Win 2000 SP3+, and supports Firefox 1.0+ and Internet Explorer 5.5+. Users of other Windows browsers can manually configure their clients to use a proxy at 127.0.0.1:9100.
