This is really bad news for website owners... We'll see increased (sometimes by order of magnitude) number of page views and bandwidth usage, without increase in the number of real visitors.
Same thing happened with DNS when Google enabled DNS pre-fetching in Chrome.

- jamesaguilar 15y agoSeems like no major disaster came out of the dns thing. Anyway, this could be a benefit for many webmasters. Google has demonstrated in the past that faster load times mean more users stick with a result. Plus, I'd be really surprised if there were no way to disable it if it is really causing a problem.
