Playing prefetch with Browster, Mozilla & Google

Sometimes, the best way to serve content faster is just to serve it before it is even requested by a browser.  Prescience of a certain sort, or, in this case, Browster.

This new app preloads search results for a given query response and lets you preview these pages in a nice interface.  The same functionality can also be applied to any Web site that you are visiting.  Mozilla offers related special sauces with the same taste, and of course you can get that on the side with Google.

If you are thinking of applying this concept to your own Web apps, check out this review of prefetching.

Happy Monday,
