Speeds up browsing by speculatively prefetching links right before they are clicked.
Especially useful when navigating to secure URLs ("https://"), as the rather lengthy TLS handshake is performed in advance.

Although the script tries to avoid prefetching links containing potentially undesirable patterns such as log in/out, (un)subscribe, confirm, cancel, delete etc. it may still unintentionally invoke an action that was not intended. Use at your own risk!

This is still rather experimental, feedback is welcomed!

TODO:

  • Add more and perhaps more sophisticated filters to the exclusion list.
  • Remove the hash (#) part of URLs in the "already prefetched" list (no need to re-fetch urls that only differ by the hash part).
