<Here is what I would like to see instead: When I am reading a complicated web page I would like to be able to click on a specific link with the right mouse button and choose an option to load the link in the background. Then I could keep reading the rest of the main page, and when I clicked on that selected link with my left mouse button the data would already be pre-loaded. Does anything like this exist in any browser? (I am using Netscape 2.0)>

Good idea!! I would say that more advanced techniques for predicting your actions could be used instead -- perhaps an extra HTML option tag could be inserted by the content provider pointing the browser at the most popular links. It could then do advanced loading of those links while you were reading...

Nice thought.. What about it, Netscape guys?
