Further to comment #2, user no longer uses Launchpad.
Issue has not been confirmed by another user.
Option enabled here with no adverse effects, Chromium 74 and Ubuntu 19.10.
So closing as invalid to reduce backlog of abandoned bug reports.

Title:
"use a prediction service to load pages more quickly" feature works
badly
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
From chrome://settings -> privacy & security
if the "use a service to load pages more quickly" option is activated,
then browsing become worst:
- after a few pages loaded, the hdd is continously scanned , the
complete system freeze during this heavy scanning, the ram is fully
used and the swap is fullfiled. This let think that this option is
trying to grab too deeply the related pages (should be limited to the
page itself, not including the embedded links). Maybe this is
acceptable with ssd, but with hdd its a nightmare.
