I've just moved and while my ISP is still setting up my internet, I'm using my phone's 3G for internet. Having a quota on the internet bandwidth, I created a minimal browsing profile: no images, no javascript, no flash. You'd be surprised how many websites are broken.

Browsing reddit without being logged in shows how much junk is in reddit (no point clicking on links that go to imgur afterall). I suddenly found myself to be far more productive. In fact I think when I get my ADSL up again, I'm going to keep using the minimal profile
