    However, I think its only supported on Mozilla Firefox. I used to support it on my media sites when Mozilla was topdog, but since the share is split between Chrome/IE I no longer do so.

      Does it hurt to support it? As in, why did you stop supporting it if the infrastructure was already there?
      • true_religion 14y ago
        Oh its not that. When I re-wrote the pages, or upgraded services, I just stopped including/thinking about prefetching for Firefox. So it pretty rapidly disappeared from all the sites that I support/operate.

  Google uses it if the first link is "very probable to be the desired hit". [0] Minor nitpick: prefetching is not an API. Still cool, though. [0]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_prefetching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_prefetching
