While the software doesn't require any personal info to install, Google Web Accelerator may be a bit too open for your tastes, depending on your level of concern over privacy. Google's own privacy policy states: "Google will receive your requests for unencrypted pages, along with information such as the date and time of the request, your IP address, and computer and connection information." The software also caches cookies, and if you enter information into a Web page form, data such as your name could be sent through Google's Web servers. If you don't feel comfortable possibly sharing this information, then Google Web Accelerator isn't for you.
While Google's initial rollout of Web Accelerator has been halted for the time being, Google reps claim it is "to scale the infrastructure," presumably to work out any kinks in the system for a more widespread launch. There is no word yet as to when the download will become available again, but stay tuned to this site for the latest information.
Overall, Google Web Accelerator delivers on its promise of faster web browsing speeds. How much of a difference this will make to you is another matter, but the clean interface and easy uninstall make it at least worth a test on your own PC.
