Check whether link prefetching should be disabled #387

Open stoically opened 4 years ago

stoically commented 4 years ago

By default Firefox does link prefetching. TC isn't concerned with handling subresource requests, but speculative requests to what's going to be a main_frame navigation might be problematic. This would require a new permission privacy, which also includes a prompt. So maybe it might make sense to throw it in there when #201 happens.

uBlock disables them by default, so I'd assume that most of TC users aren't affected anyway currently.

Since Firefox 75 privacy can be an optional permission: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1618399
