Use this browsing method:

1. Use Firefox
1.5 Turn off tab option "when I open a new tab switch to it immediately"
2. Ctrl-click on links to "pre-load" them -- in tabs
3. When done reading current tab, hit ctrl-W to close it. New tab opens with content you have pre-loaded in the background.

FWIW, automatic preloading of links on the same page has been attempted since 1998. It has never really worked.
