Quicklink Chrome Extension is a tool designed to enhance your online browsing. It prefetches any link that appears in the view, quickly retrieving pages from the browser cache rather than the network. This process significantly boosts web navigation speed. The extension also allows customization of ignored URL patterns for an even smoother browsing experience.

Quicklink Chrome Extension lets you navigate the web faster by prefetching any link that comes into the view. When clicking on them, pages are retrieved from the browser cache, instead of the network, highly improving navigation speed.
Functionality:
The extension injects and initializes Quicklink library in every site a user visits: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/quicklink.
Once initialized, the library starts prefetching any links that come into the view.
It will prefetch at most 5 in-viewport links.
By default, the extension ignores URLs patterns that shouldn't be prefetched. For example, URLs containing "signup", "signin", "logout:, etc.
Awesome job. However i did end up running into site issues eventually. This likely something that can only be minimized given the nature of the extension. Been using this off/on for over a year and it's best used in addition with Extensity, another add-on that seamlessly allows the user to enable/disable chrome add-ons. So when you use QuickLinks and a page loads incorrectly, quickly disable it and reload the page. Problem solved.
