Is DU the fastest loading page you visit?
I visit several sites, including many sports sites, but DU always loads in about a second. There are some Scout sports sites that make me think I'm back on dial-up at times.

3. Actually, yes
But I think that may be because of the lack of multiple scripts you find on an average website these days.

DU is mostly text and for those of us on dial-up or other slow services, it makes a big difference.

5. Think about Ann Coulter and it will load faster.
But then, it might also crash and burn.

9. this is true. i visit many sites, and i don't know who did this software, but it is excellent...
i use firefox with the adblock add-on, and du comes up in a snap.

it is almost exclusively text based, but it still looks so cool. who are the geniuses that designed this?

bravo, du...
