A method and apparatus for enhanced browsing. The apparatus includes a user interface for presenting an enhanced browsing window of content identified by a link in a page displayed by a browser. The apparatus may include a prefetcher for prefetching the content and a cache for storing the window. The apparatus may also include an ad interface for retrieving advertisements for display with the content. The apparatus may further include an interface to a central server for exchanging data regarding user browsing behavior, facilitating identification of links on browsed pages, prioritizing links for prefetching of identified data, etc. When a first page is displayed in a browser, content identified by a link to a second page is fetched and an enhanced browsing window, which may initially be invisible, is built. When a user mouses-over the link, the window is automatically displayed and the user can navigate the displayed content.
