## Description

 * Supported only on Chromium-based browsers since version 121+
 * In the post/product category pages, first X items will be prefetched before the
   user clicks. The default value for X is **4** items and can be adjusted via the
   plugin settings.
 * If a user hovers over a link, the destination page will be prefetched before 
   click. Please note that this option is disabled by default and can be enabled
   via the plugin settings.
 * It is also possible to prefetch some custom links on posts/products by entering
   preferred URLs.
 * Similar actions can be applied with prerender.
