Short description
Browse the web faster. Faster Browsing on Chrome
Full summary

FasterWeb uses just-in-time preloading; it preloads a page right before you click on it.

Faster Web works best on pages that are on the same sites. Pages to external sites are still faster but generally not enough to be noticeable.

How it works: Before you click on a link, you 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.

In your browsing session, opening many tabs is quite common but going back to one opened is quite slow and irritating. You have to either look up each opened tab to check or search through your browser history. And the worst thing is the huge memory these opened tabs take which mostly leads to crashes. Well this extension then comes to your rescue.

Just press Alt+2 to close and save the current tab (You can press Alt+1 if you don't want to close the tab) and the next time you require that tab, press Alt+3, type a keyword for that tab (Like "Football Article") and press Enter. This takes at max three seconds to switch between tabs, even when the number of tabs saved are in hundreds. To clear the current session of tabs, press Alt+4. Use Alt+3 to open and close pop-up. Check out the awesome UI in the images. I hope you like it.
