Anticipate - Browser Tool

Pre-loading on-screen links so they are ready to view ASAP

Anticipate is an open source web browsing tool that finds and prepares for links on-screen so they load much faster when you open them (similar to what mobile/desktop Chrome does when you're browsing in them).

Features:

- Customize blacklist/whitelist of link-scanning

- Monitor links being pre-loaded

- QuickSwitch Bubbles (beta): opens up Custom Tabs to start loading a page, then immediately switches back to your previous app, with a bubble to open the loaded page

When a link is found, Ancitipate does the following using Chrome Custom Tabs*:

- DNS pre-resolution of the main domain

- DNS pre-resolution of the most likely sub-resources

- Pre-connection to the destination including HTTPS/TLS negotiation

- Pre-render the page**

*according to the Chrome Custom Tabs documentation

**only on non-metered connections (e.g. WiFi)

Inspired by Chromer (by Arun Kumar) for using Chrome Custom Tabs. Brought pre-loading, dynamic toolbar color, and QuickSwitch Bubbles first to the market.
