Google is releasing updates for Chrome at great pace and soon in future, it is destined to reach version 6. You may thing what’s the catch in receiving a version number, it’s the way in which the browser will be programmed to read your clicking habits and thus will automatically forward to a site. This feature is to be known as ‘predictive pre-connections’.

According to Trusted Reviews. Enter a search term and it’ll automatically pre-load in the background the pages you’re most likely to visit, reducing the amount of time it takes to display that Web site should you decide you actually want to go there.
