Uh, isn’t it widely known that every character you type in the address bar in chrome is sent to google? They wouldn’t be able to give you autocomplete results otherwise.
- Karunamon 8y agoThis is on a toggle switch that requires affirmative consent to enable the first time. So no, not the same thing.
- fzzzy 8y agoAre you talking about “Help make Google Chrome better by automatically sending usage statistics and crash reports to Google”? Because that’s not what I am talking about. Even if you turn that off, autocomplete still works in the location bar. Type “h”, it offers to complete “Home Depot”, “Hotmail”, “Huntington Bank”, “Hurricane Florence”, and “Hungry Howies”. It does that by sending the character “h” to the google servers and getting back a list of results.
