This might help someone else with a slow Chrome browser (1 Viewer)

It takes forever for Chrome to load for me. Then I found out this one simple trick!

Go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy and uncheck “Predict network actions to improve page load performance“.

Now I can close and open chrome quickly! I don't understand why!

Will this break my computer?

You can make webpages load faster by telling Google Chrome to prerender (preload) links. Google Chrome does this by predicting what links you might click, preparing them to load instantly for you.

For example:

• When you’re browsing a blog, you might click “next post” when you’re done reading. The blog can tell Google Chrome to pre-load the “next post,” so the page shows instantly when you click it.
• When you're typing a web address in the address bar, Chrome will begin to prerender that page if it’s confident about which site you're likely to visit (based on your local history). This will make the page show up faster when you hit enter

Should do no harm to un-check it.
