From Haacked.com:
Google announced on its blog that they've release a beta version of their new web accelerator designed for broadband use. I'll give it a shot and see how well it works.
Not much later Phil Haacked posted this:
UPDATE Wow, check out the privacy policy for Google Web Accelerator... On second thought maybe I'll hold off on installing that.
