The Google Chrome software is a Chromium based web browser that has the option to preload pages for faster browsing and searching. It pre-fetches information from pages, including pages you have not yet visited. It uses a prediction service of the next pages that you might visit. When you visit a webpage, Chrome can look up the IP addresses of all the page's links and load the ones you might navigate to next. This settings is turned on by default, thus, websites and any embedded content that are pre-loaded may set and read their own cookies as if you had visited them, even if you don't. Information fetched may include cookies, if you allow cookies. If you are currently connected to the internet under a limited data plan, preloading of webpages can easily deplete your data plan. You can set the Google Chrome web browser not to preload pages to conserve on your data plan.
Here are the steps to set the Google Chrome web browser version 84.0 for Windows not to preload pages for lesser data consumption. The steps are just the same or similar to fairly older or newer versions.
1. Click the CUSTOMIZE AND CONTROL icon that looks like three dots arranged vertically located at the top right corner of the Google Chrome window, and then click on SETTINGS option.
2. Click the PRIVACY AND SECURITY category on the left pane. (Maximize the Google Chrome window if the left pane is not present.)
3. Click the COOKIES AND OTHER SITE DATA option.
4. Scroll down the "Cookies and other site data" page by using the scroller on the right edge of the Google Chrome window until you find the preload pages option.
5. Click the switch labeled "Preload pages for faster browsing and searching" to turn it off.
6. Click the X icon located at the top right corner of the Google Chrome window.
