10 Tips to Get the Most Out of Fast Browser ProFast Browser Pro markets itself as a speedy, privacy-focused browser designed for users who want smooth performance without sacrificing control. Whether you’re a casual web user, a power user who juggles dozens of tabs, or someone who values privacy and customization, these 10 tips will help you squeeze every ounce of performance, convenience, and security from Fast Browser Pro.
1. Keep the browser updated
Updates deliver speed improvements, bug fixes, and security patches. Enable automatic updates in settings so you always have the latest performance optimizations and vulnerability fixes. If automatic updates aren’t available, check for updates weekly.
2. Manage extensions wisely
Extensions can add functionality but also slow startup and page loads. Review your extensions list and disable or remove anything you don’t use regularly. For essential tools, prefer lightweight, well-reviewed extensions. Use the browser’s “Incognito / Private” extension control to prevent unnecessary add-ons from running in private sessions.
3. Use built-in ad and tracker blocking
Fast Browser Pro includes native ad and tracker blocking tools that reduce page weight and speed up site loading. Enable the built-in blocker and configure its strictness: balanced mode for general browsing, strict mode for maximum speed and privacy. Whitelist trusted sites if necessary to support content creators.
4. Optimize tab and memory management
Having many active tabs is a common reason for slowdown. Use features like tab sleeping, tab groups, or pinning to reduce memory usage. Close tabs you don’t need, and use a session manager extension or the browser’s built-in session save feature to restore groups later.
Examples:
- Sleep inactive tabs after 10–30 minutes.
- Use tab groups to group related work and collapse when not needed.
5. Enable hardware acceleration (when appropriate)
Hardware acceleration offloads graphics and certain page-rendering tasks to your GPU, improving performance for media-heavy sites and web apps. If pages look glitchy or the browser becomes unstable after enabling it, try toggling it off—compatibility depends on your GPU and drivers.
6. Configure privacy settings for performance balance
Some privacy features (like aggressive tracking protection or DNS over HTTPS) can slightly change page behavior or increase initial connection time but generally improve speed by blocking heavy trackers. Experiment with these options:
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH): often speeds up DNS resolution and adds privacy.
- Strict tracker blocking: reduces third-party content and resource loads.
Find the balance that keeps pages functioning while minimizing extra resource usage.
7. Use built-in password and autofill tools securely
Fast Browser Pro’s native password manager and autofill speed up sign-ins and form completion. Use the browser’s strong password generator and enable sync (if you trust the sync method) to access passwords across devices. Protect the browser with a strong master password or device authentication (biometrics) if available.
8. Customize content settings per site
Instead of global permissions that can slow browsing (like allowing all sites access to camera, microphone, or location), set site-specific permissions. Denying unnecessary permissions reduces background tasks and potential resource use. For frequently used web apps, grant only the permissions they strictly need.
9. Regularly clear cache and cookies selectively
A bloated cache can sometimes cause performance hiccups; however, an intelligently used cache speeds up repeated visits. Clear cookies and cache for sites that behave oddly, but don’t clear everything indiscriminately. Use the browser’s “clear data for this site” feature to remove problematic site data without losing useful cached assets for frequently visited pages.
10. Leverage keyboard shortcuts and productivity features
Learning Fast Browser Pro’s shortcuts and productivity features reduces reliance on mouse navigation and speeds up workflows. Common useful shortcuts include:
- Open new tab, close tab, reopen closed tab
- Jump between tab groups
- Toggle reader or distraction-free mode Customize shortcuts if the browser allows for even faster access to features you use daily.
Quick performance checklist
- Enable automatic updates.
- Uninstall or disable unused extensions.
- Turn on built-in ad/tracker blocking.
- Use tab sleeping and groups.
- Enable hardware acceleration if compatible.
Using these tips will make Fast Browser Pro faster, leaner, and more aligned with your privacy and productivity needs. Adjust settings gradually and test changes so you can find the right mix of speed, functionality, and privacy for your workflow.
