I'm in the same boat. It's weird that WebKit supports `preload`, which is a newer spec, but they never mention `prefetch` support anywhere:

https://webkit.org/status/#?search=preload

I found these neglected issues in WebKit Bugzilla:

- "implement Link: header" https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51940

- "Add support for <link rel=prefetch>" https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194539
