Short description
Visual aid for scrolling web pages. skyZIP™ acceleration and compression Proxy
Full summary

Adds a customizable line ("Marker") to the bottom of web pages which helps users visually keep their place when the page is scrolled.

After the page scrolls, the Marker will move up with the page, and remain in place for a moment to help the user keep track of where they left off. After a set period of time, the Marker will redraw again near the bottom of the freshly scrolled web page, awaiting the next scroll.

The Marker color, opacity, width and distance from the bottom of the web page can be changed by the user. Also, the delay after scrolling before the Marker redraws itself is also configurable.

Scroll Marker does not set cookies, track users or webpages, and does not communicate or exchange data with anyone. It simply uses basic JavaScript to temporarily insert and manipulate its "marker" object in web pages after they load. The only information it reads are the size and scrolling dimensions of Chrome's browser windows.

skyZIP browser extension is perfect for anonymous internet access like a VPN service and can do even more and faster.

skyZIP can reduce data usage by using high performance proxy servers to optimize webpages. Data savings are at about 50%

Many web-sites are not optimized – but skyZIP is transcoding images to WebP lossless format, resulting images are 80% smaller.

Content compression – deleteting of unnecessairy information in HTML, Javascript and CSS resources which are not essential combined with gzip compression is resulting in bandwdith savings for the users and operator.

The use of an optimized protocol which is also the basis for HTTP/2.0 is in use between your browser and the Proxy server farm. Multiplexing multiple request and response streams in parallel over a single TCP connection which is reducing TCP handshake overhead for multible requests, higher throughput by removing TCP slow-start phase – increase of loading speed of webpages on already TCP accelerated environments is about 100% on non TCP accelerated systems up to 1000%

Secure connections (HTTPS) are routed from your browser to the destination by saving one roundtrip per DNS request. DNS lookups are performed by Proxy Servers, no need for the Browser to wait for responses. – this is also reducing cpu load on the modem.

Harmful webpages are blocked automatically in our Datacenter – will safe bandwidth, increase speed, will keep your computer away from phising web-sites
