[Fasterfox] prefetch blacklist?

[Tony Gentilcore]

Thanks for the support.

 

As far as prefetching goes, yes, it does actually 'visit' the links.
However, it only visits links with the extension .htm, .html, .png, .jpg,
.gif, and .png.  So most dynamic pages for games and such would not have
these extensions.  They would be something like .asp, .php, or .jsp, and
would not be visited.  You might be able to try it and report back if it
messes up the game and I can try to code a workaround for you.

 

Several other users have asked for a "whitelist" feature of sites not to
prefetch on.  This is definitely on the road map for future versions, but
with no current ETA.

 

Thanks again,

Tony

Hi!
Just found out about your extension and it looks really great.

I have just one question: Will the prefetch feature actually visit linked
pages? For example, in some online games certain actions are triggered just
by clicking on a link on the page. Will fasterfox interfere here? And if so,
is there a possibility to specify a blacklist for pages not to be processed
by the prefetch feature?

Thank you & greetings from Germany,
C.J.
