Neat. This technique seems to be based on hovering over a tab with the mouse. Power users likely to benefit most from this optimization likely cycle through tabs using ctrl+tab. Is any thought being given to a way to implement the technique for ctrl+tab users?
EDIT: Just spotted the FN saying "Right now, we simply detect whether you’re hovering a tab with a mouse to predict that you’re likely going to choose that, but there are certain more opportunities to introduce warming based on other user behaviours." Hopefully ctrl+tab is one of those behaviors it can be baked into.
- seba_dos1 9y agoSame with addons like Tab Center Redux or Tree Style Tabs, as I can't imagine using the Web without them anymore.
- philsnow 9y agoi had the same thought; there's probably at least 50-100 ms between me holding ctrl and hitting tab (and it makes sense to prewarm the next tab whether i'm going to hit ctrl-tab or ctrl-w)
- enedil 9y agoI frequently use Ctrl-tab or ctrl-shift-tab more than once at a time. It makes sense to preheat tab for a while after first usage of this shortcut.
- crondog 9y agoI can already see the bug report -- 'my CPU usage shoots up when I hold down ctrl.'
