Google Developing Page Pre-Load Feature To Increase Chrome Browsing Speeds

Google is working on a new feature for their web browser Chrome which will hopefully give users of their software greater speeds while doing general browsing on the web. The Chrome Issue Tracker website has said that the feature being worked on involves the pre-loading of pages in the background in an attempt to increase the speeds in which we browse boasting “wicked fast” page loading.

Although little has been said about the in development feature, it has been said that the pre-load feature would incorporate into Chromes tabbed browsing interface, where multiple pages will be loaded into separate memory compartments simultaneously (which will then be opened instantly if the user wishes).

There are some problems still with this new feature which have been pointed out including how to teach Chrome what parts of the page or what pages altogether should be pre-loaded, as well as false page statistics being created by the feature even if the page is never actually viewed by the person browsing. There could also be problems with memory, filling up cache or your temporary internet files with unnecessary files.

Although the feature is still in its early stages, something which could increase browsing speeds has to be looked at positively and hopefully more word on this feature will appear from Google in the near future.
