Google did something similar themselves several years ago as an add-in to internet explorer. It was called web-accelerator or something like that. (correct me if i'm wrong, it might have been for firefox or even chrome itself).
It prefetched links you were likely to click on a website but it had to be abandoned because some GET-links also issued actions, such as removing blog-posts, on way to many web-pages causing havoc.
I fear this will have the same problem.

- asm89 15y agoI believe pre-fetching of links is already more common in browsers these days, so I don't think that this feature will introduce these issues again. Note that this new feature also _renders_ the page in the background.
- taf2 15y agoPrefetching what it thinks you are going to type in the URL bar is very different from prefetching links - that's the difference this time if I understand correctly ..
