Well, this looks like the next hack/scam feature. I really hate to think of the sort of rubbish that this will cause.

Surely this is exactly why the "portal" shouldn't do this either? Why not work towards fixing the security issues of the iframe?
Regarding pre-loading content in links, they could just implement this in the browser if they think it's really that important. This will destroy your mobile data.
I really wish they had sat down and discussed this with other browser teams to flesh it out. I think part of this is in getting the jump on other browsers, this really will take a long time to implement securely.
