ABSTRACT:
A browser background extension method and system for a Web browser such that a link access can be backgrounded during slow link access time periods in a computer network having a client connectable to one or more servers, the client having an interface for displaying a first hypertext document with a hypertext link to a second hypertext document located at a server. Initially, an access parameter is associated with the hypertext link. Next, the hypertext link to the second hypertext document is selected, in response to user input. Thereafter, an access time period is invoked in an active mode of a Web browser such that the hypertext link accesses the second hypertext document in response to the selection. Next, if the access time period proceeds at a rate of access slower than a desired rate of access, the link access is terminated in the active mode of the Web browser and continues thereafter in a background mode on a scheduled or opportunistic basis, in response to a subsequent user input.
