62. Disable Speed Up Browsing By Disabling Add-Ons Notification in
IE 9
Disabling add-ons can improve the speed at which Internet Explorer 9
loads. Currently if Internet explorer deems that add-ons are loading too
slowly (default is 0.20 seconds) a pop up appears (see fig: 62-1).

Like most pop ups this can be a nuisance to many users, especially if
0.20 seconds is not deemed by the user long enough for the add-ons to
load.
While you cannot turn the pop up off completely, you can make changes
to the notification parameters to allow the pop up to kick in a lot
later than it currently does. For example, if you are getting too many
add-ons taking longer that 0.20 second to load you can increase the time
allocated before a pop up occurs, say to 0.40 seconds. Alternatively you
can allocate the maximum of 10 seconds which should, theoretically, make
the pop up disappear for good.
To make the necessary adjustments proceed as follows:
- On the Speed up browsing by disabling add-ons pop up (Fig: 62-1)
Click the Choose Add-Ons button.
- When the Choose Add-Ons window opens look at the bottom of the
window and you should see an option marked Tell me when the
delay caused by add-ons exceeds.

- To the Right of this option you will see a drop
down menu. Click the arrow to the right
of the drop down box to display a new drop down menu.

- From the drop down menu select a new delay time for the add-ons
to exceed and then click the Done button.
- The speed up browsing by disabling add-ons
notification banner will now not appear until the new time limit has
been exceeded. If you have set the time to maximum,
i.e., 10 seconds the notification banner should not appear at all.
