I have a web site, which uses no google features, that I'm testing using a tool that intercepts and displays all the HTTP endpoints, redirects... When I go a different page within the site one of the GETs is to https://clients1.google.com/tbproxy/af/query?q=Chc2... I don't understand why the site is querying google servers. Is it because I'm testing with Chrome? How do I find out how what (and why) google thinks the site needs to GET from them (the query string being encrypted)? Andrew Poulos

Google is know for its shady behavior. You should read the recent review by Jonathan Sampson: <https://twitter.com/jonathansampson/status/1165493206441779200>

Couldn't you google it up? And what the heck has this to do with comp.lang.js? Indeed, a quick search finds about some bug with form autocomplete in an older version of Chrome: have you updated your browser recently? Anyway, please do not post *totally off-topic* stuff... Good luck, Julio

I'm running Version 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) > Anyway, please do not post *totally off-topic* stuff... I didn't know what was causing the GET. I thought maybe that there's some JavaScript that I didn't know about involved. Andrew Poulos

It's technically an Auto Suggest / Auto Complete feature which pulls suggestions from remote server. This also applies to all Chromium based web browsers. Check the settings in `chrome://flags/` for all settings related auto fill / auto suggest / auto complete which involve remote server.

As JJ posted earlier, it's the autofill download manager used in Chromium:
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/autofill/core/browser/autofill_download_manager.cc?q=tbproxy&sq=package:chromium&l=48
Line: 97
const char kDefaultAutofillServerURL[] =
"https://clients1.google.com/tbproxy/af/";
