Increase it. Partially due to prefetched pages not being what users are interested in, and partially due to seemingly faster & more pleasant web browsing causing an increase in overall browsing behavior.
- azakai 15y agoIt will also increase CPU usage and decrease battery life, because the pages are also pre-rendered in the background. It is nice to have the page appear instantly if you wanted exactly what was preloaded, but the overhead this adds in both network and CPU is kind of worrying.
- jfoster 15y agoGood point about battery life. Perhaps the Chrome team should consider turning this on/off depending on the system state. It's the type of feature that I think most users would want on when they are at plugged in at home using a virtually unlimited internet connection. On the other hand, when using battery power and a 3g or tethered internet connection, it probably isn't so desirable.
