I think you still need to use "prerender" for Chrome - and "prefetch" for Firefox - for it to work. http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/mastering-html5-prefetching

- igrigorik 13y agoYep. Prefetch != prendering. Prefetch only fetches the single resource, and is meant as a "post load" hint. Whereas prerendering fetches the entire page, and all of its assets. http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000545/ch10.html#BROWSER_OPTIMIZATION http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1230000000545/ch10.htm...
- daker 13y agoThanks for the clarifications.
- MichaelApproved 13y agoDoes prerendering execute JavaScript or only load assets?
- rdsubhas 13y agoBut isn't it really a matter of time before the `prefetch` and `prerender` options get ignored? Some rogue sites are just going to mark all their links with `prerender`. This is almost akin to the `meta keywords` that were abused for a long time, and then all search engines started ignoring it.
- kmfrk 13y agoThere's probably a reason most browsers have been so slow to adopt it - especially Opera. Perhaps the reason Chrome is the only browser supporting it is that Google can leverage the web crawlers to scan for malicious use of the attributes.
