It inspired me to create a rather similar (but enhanced) Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script that works with any website (and additionally prefetches cross domain links):
There's one problem though! some links may actually be dangerous to prefetch as they invoke actions that are not desired by the user. For example "log in/out", delete, confirm, send etc.. I added a basic filter for these (English only for now), but there's still a lot of work to be done..

Add that to the list of reasons why Log out should ideally always require a POST request.
