FasterWeb is a Chrome extension designed to speed up your web browsing using just-in-time preloading. By preloading pages moments before you click on them, it reduces wait times and delivers a smoother experience, especially within the same sites. The extension also enriches your search results by adding a smart search widget right beside them, enhancing your productivity. How it operates: When hovering over a link for 65 milliseconds, FasterWeb anticipates your click with a 50% chance and starts preloading the page. This smart preloading typically saves over 300 milliseconds per page load. It carefully excludes pages with actions like logging out or deleting and those containing "?" in their URLs to avoid unintended operations. Based on the instant.page library, FasterWeb combines speed and safety seamlessly. While using FasterWeb, you may see occasional ads for other extensions or affiliate links, helping keep the extension free to use. Developed with care by the BrowseCraft team, FasterWeb is your go-to solution for faster and smarter browsing.
