Using rails (7.1.3.2) and turbo-rails (2.0.4). For some reason, when ever I hover over any link in my app, a GET request is happening to the linked page. I check my inspector and there is a mouseenter event coming from turbo.es2017-esm.js:3135.
When I disable it, the GET requests don’t happen.
Here is an example of a link I have
<%= link_to "Edit", edit_post_path(@post), class: "hover:text-black flex-none", data: { turbo_frame: :resource_frame } %>
Anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it?
>Solution :
It’s a new instaclick behavior in Turbo v8:

You can disable it by adding a meta tag to your page:
<meta name="turbo-prefetch" content="false">
or data attribute to/around your links:
<a href="/" data-turbo-prefetch="false">Home</a>
<div data-turbo-prefetch="false">
<a href="/">Home</a>
...
</div>
