Websites load much faster while browsing in-flight! Bonus: works while browsing on the ground too
by James Newman, 2017-04-09

"Scale up" da inglesa AquaLab. Numa curta história : Em vôos comerciais, o tráfego internet deve ser absurdamente rápido, pois as aeronaves trafegam em velocidades superiores a 500 MPH numa altura a 30 mil pés do solo em média. Para poder disponibilizar serviços de internet dentro dessas condições tão difíceis, foi criada a In Flight Communication ou IFC, dominadas por duas tecnologias: Comunicação direta ar-terra e Serviço móvel por satélite. Alguns aplicativos medem a latência dessas conexões pobres e ajustam automaticamente a exibição das páginas web. O Scale Up comercial faz tudo isso automaticamente, mas a extensão do Chrome precisa que o usuário clique no seu ícone, quando pressente que sua conexão está lenta. Serve tanto para os smartphones, tablets e notes de quem viaja em aviões, como para o usuário doméstico que tem conexões reduzidas em horários de pico. Instalei no meu chrome mesmo sabendo que nunca vou precisar.
