    Chrome sends the text, progressively, as you type it into the address/search bar, so it can auto-complete results. This is what I believe they were referring to. Even if you don’t use Google as the search engine, it still sends those characters to Google.

    If you set up ZAP/ Burp/ etc you can watch the requests go out in realtime.
