Google Web Accelerator considered overzealous
"The accelerator scours a page and prefetches the content behind each link. This gives the illusion of pages loading faster (since they’ve already been pre-loaded behind the scenes). Here’s the problem: Google is essentially clicking every link on the page — including links like 'delete this' or 'cancel that.'
And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. [...] Google ignores it and performs the action anyway."
