Accelerates browsing to secure websites by performing TLS handshakes in advance just before the links are actually clicked.

The TSL handshake is a lengthy, multi-roundtrip process that initiates a secure connection between the client and server. It includes generation of private keys, exchange and authentication of public keys and certificates and negotiation of symmetric keys. The script will try to perform that in advance by sending a HEAD request to the base path of the host when a secure link is hovered. When the link is eventually loaded, the browser will either perform an abbreviated handshake or none at all.

This is still experimental. Feedback is welcomed!

TODO:

Investigate how effective this is in various browsers and configurations.
