Please can you provide some more info about your implementation of preloading. Does it only work on popular search engines, or for all websites?

Tom_Fox there is indeed: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#networkpredictionoptions. Since the implementation is something we've inherited from Google (minus any Google-specific services that we would have replaced with our own), there is lots of Google documentation you can refer to, for example: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/nostate-prefetch. There are other things controlled by this setting/policy that I don't know of any documentation for though.
