Actually now using this and seeing the results, I think Chrome caches assets much like this extension does. It gives a huge perceptive speed boost to Firefox. Mozilla devs need to look at including this in Firefox by default. It's huge in terms of speed and Firefox's competitiveness with Chrome.
- thomasfromcdnjs 11y agoI believe it still sends a network request to check the status of the resource. But an extension can bypass this and assume that the asset has not changed.
