Faster Pageload - Firefox Add-on to Accelerate Web Browsing

Faster Pageload is a Firefox add-on crafted to make web browsing faster by employing a preloading method. This technique starts loading pages as soon as a user hovers over the link, making it feel like the page builds up instantly after clicking. It further lazy loads images, loading only those in view. The result is a more efficient, speedy and fluid browsing experience.
