You listed five browsers (using two browser engines) that support it. :-) I suspect further interest in this area is probably more likely to come in the shape of the prerendering feature, though: http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-March/035065.html http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2012-November/037833.html Currently, only Chrome has indicated any interest in this feature. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E)\._.,--,'``.fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A/, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.

Re: [whatwg] Support of link rel=prefetch
I can confirm this does not work on Android 4.2 where Chrome is the default browser. In fact, it does not work on Chrome 23 desktop either. Adam, should I fill a bug report on https://bugs.webkit.org/ or http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list ? I believe this is a Webkit problem.
