I believe Google Web Accelerator works with IE as well, but some people does not like it as in this way Google "knows" which pages I am visiting... BTW: Apple Safari has far the fastest rendering engine in all my experiences with it, however, the Web Accelerator does not work with it so browsing pages other than the internal servers seems to be slower than with FireFox.
