another trick is adding speculation rules on MPA sites. so when you hover over a link the page gets prerendered. For example, my initial page takes ~80ms, but navigating to other pages take 20ms

    prerender: [
      {
         where: { href_matches: '/*' },
         eagerness: 'moderate'
      }
    ]

That doesn't work on Safari, FF, and Brave, but you could do something like this:

Most adblockers/privacy extensions disable this.

uBlock Origin does it by default for instance.

  • Do they block <link rel=prefetch> completely?

    On Brave, the workaround on that linked snippet bypasses their blocking.

    • Well, uBlock Origin sets network.prefetch-next=false and network.dns.disablePrefetch=true, so yes.

      The reason is that browser prefetching may hit URLs that were intended to be blocked.
