Firefox users:

RequestPolicy users can disable Link prefetching and DNS prefetching from the Advanced tab in the RequestPolicy preferences. Everyone else can search for "prefetch" in about:config and do it from there.

Also, Prefetching is disabled by default if the page containing the link is opened over HTTPS.
