Google's own web accelerator. Still in beta mode, but it has a cool counter that lets you know how much time Google's saved you. It's only a matter of time before Google releases the beta time machine. All hail skyne...Google.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS THING.
It caches personal data on their servers and s a huge security risk.

Yeah, at first it seemed cool, but in the end all it is, is a public proxy. Although it blocks https:// from being cached, alot of other data is cached, such as logins for forums like this. Pretty much any website you go to can and will be cached by this, meaning other people can see what you see.
