    "Helped solve horrible load times when browsing"

    December 29, 2010  |   By PTFMWB

    Pros

    Better browsing, feel safer with it, only my current freeware virusscanner doesn't give me the same confidence against phishing. Really easy to install, no need to worry about compatibility with other virusscanner/firewalls & Free! Truly amazing.

    Cons

    haven't found any yet.

    Summary

    Never had problems with load times of webpages, but with new computer with Windows 7 suddenly got really bad.. Other PC was still working fine though. I thought Chrome was to blame, because I'd just switched to Chrome on the new system, also tried Firefox and continued to have issues (Download speed was still fine however). Resetting Modem & Router solved nothing. After reading online decided to try OpenDNS and it's worked like a charm, no more problems when browsing, and also a lot of extra functionality I wasn't even looking for, I feel safer browsing with the anti-Phishing stuff.The fact that it's free and doesn't interfere with Virusscanners, firewalls and basically all the security stuff that often ends up fighting eachother makes it a great option when experiencing problems with browsing. Will probably keep using it mainly for peace of mind.
