Google Web Terminator

Google has released some times ago, a browser plugin, supposed to speed up internet surfing, Google Web Accelerator. The system is quite simple: the browser can pre-fetch/pre-load web pages linked from the active displayed web page. So far, a quite interesting original feature.
Unfortunately, the current version of Google Web Accelerator is bypassing all JavaScripts, including those related to confirmation links/buttons. So the result is of course a real disaster. If you browse on our forum pages while having this system activated in your browser, all available linked of the displayed page are 'clicked"...including the delete button for your posts...
If you are using this accelerator, then quickly uninstall it; and if you are a website administrator, then immediately update your web pages codes!
