Not bad

I've been using it since it came out. It aint bad, it actually does load some pages faster, on 3Mbps dsl. I dont get the point of prefetching though. I dont notice a difference with it on or off. Using Opera 8.01

Maybe that is because it only works with IE and Firefox which Google makes very clear on it's download site!

Heh, not true. Works in Opera, and quite well.
From the google faq:

Can I run Google Web Accelerator on a browser other than Internet Explorer or Firefox?

For other browsers running on Windows, you'll need to manually configure your proxy settings to 127.0.0.1:9100 for HTTP connections.

I set my proxy to 127.0.0.1:9100 and it works.
