There's an experimental framework to support <link rel="prerender"> behind a 
preference implemented last year [1]. We ceased to work on it after realizing 
it's unlikely to benefit users as Chromium team indicated the usage rate is low 
and Chromium was going to remove it [2].

We'll clean up the code after 57 release since we're not going to ship this 
feature. The plan is to remove prerendering-specific code but keep 
GroupedSHistory [3], a feature to build cross-process session history without 
dropping bfcache. It was for prerendering but hopefully can also benefit some 
use cases of e10s-multi in the future.

The bug to track the removal is at:
