The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    I used to have a list of them but some of them are now slower than ComCast. With everything ad driven these days, pages take too long to load.

    OpenDNS.org add security but not speed, actualy they do so much security checks (phishing, filtering out adult sites, etc.) that I think it slow down the process, not speed it up.
