Anyone have any suggestions on speeding up my mac and web browsing? Do removing fonts or languages help? If, so what is the safest way to do this?
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, I think you'll need to be a bit more specific, like what web browser, what is actually slow, and any bottlenecks on the system(RAM, CPU, internet connection).
I definatly fee lthat safari is faster than camino. I used camino for amny long months and than asked myself "Why not safari?" Tried it and i notivced a significant speed difference and have been using it since.
don't use onyx it is a highly invasive utility that runs at way to high a cpu% and requires you to launch each time. I used to love it, now it's like a dirty ex, you don't want to hear anybody suggesting that someone else use it! I would suggest you get MainMenu, which has more options and runs in the menubar with a great drop down window.
The guy is after faster browsing. Wouldnt emptying the cache slow things down?
I see this alot and still dont understand. The cache is there so pages load faster right?
I haven't used Camino for a while, but last I knew it was very generically compiled.
When I was using it, I found that getting an optimized build (G4 or G5 specific) made for a significantly faster experience -- you might want to see if they are still available.

Interesting. I was just at an Apple store yesterday at the Genius Bar. He said that Camino was the fastest browser for Mac
i would classify alot of members here as apple experts! as far as browsers go, just mess with them a while and pick the one you like best
