Description

Browse the web faster.

FasterWeb uses just-in-time preloading, which preloads a page right before you click on it. In addition, FasterWeb enriches search results by adding the smart search widget beside the search results.

The FasterWeb works best on pages on the same sites. Pages to external sites are still faster but more is needed to be noticeable.

How it works: Before clicking a link, hover your mouse over it. When you have hovered for 65 milliseconds, there is one chance out of two that you will click, so Faster Web starts preloading at this moment, leaving on average over 300 ms for the page to preload.

Pages that trigger an action (such as logging out or deleting something) are excluded. (FasterWeb won’t preload pages with a “?” in their URL.)

FasterWeb — previously called FasterChrome — is based on instant.page, a library that you can add to your site in just one minute to give it the same speed boost.

I absolutely say this with confidence, DO NOT USE FasterWeb FOR ANYTHING NOW! The latest update hijacks your DNS requests to redirect you to a tatrck domain, which according to Malwarebytes Browser Guard and UBlock Origin is malicious for hosting malware. What a shame for this to happen to this application, it significantly improved Chrome with it's fast page loading but at this point in time, it is NO LONGER WORTH THE RISK OF POTENTIALLY INFECTING YOUR SYSTEM

Malware now. Google links started being routed to a tatrck domain. This behaviour stopped after disabling this extension. As far as I'm concerned it's compromised and I would now consider it malware!

What a shame... This is completely useless now, as others have mentioned it redirects most links to some shady tracking site first. They're just trying to collect and sell your data. Google really ought to remove this extension, because it's now just spyware.
