1. A method of enhanced browsing in a first web page displayed by a browser in a first browser window, the first web page having a target link to a second web page, the method comprising:

  • a computer system automatically prefetching content from the second web page prior to the computer system receiving a selection of the target link;

    causing, while the computer system automatically prefetches said content form the second web page, display of a first indicator associated with the target link, the first indicator visually conveying in real time the prefetching of content from the second web page;

    in response to completion of the prefetching, causing display in the first browser window of a second indicator, different from and in place of, said first indicator to visually convey in real time the completion of the prefetching;

    in response to a determination that the prefetching has failed, causing display in the first browser window of a third indicator, different from and in place of said first indicator, to visually convey failure of the prefetching; and

    in response to detection of a security threat in the prefetched content, causing display in the first browser window of a fourth indicator, different from and in place of said first indicator, to visually convey information regarding the security threat.
