For issues that include confidential information, please use this link. Google Chrome uses a combined web address and search bar (we call it the “omnibox”) at the top of the browser window.Īs you use the omnibox, your default search engine can suggest addresses and search queries that may be of interest to you. These suggestions make navigation and searching faster and easier, and are turned on by default. They can be turned off by unchecking "Autocomplete searches and URLs" in the “Sync and Google services” section of Chrome's settings. When not in Incognito mode, in order to provide these suggestions, Chrome sends the text you've typed into the omnibox, along with a general categorization (e.g., "URL", "search query", or "unknown"), to your default search engine. Chrome will also send a signal to your default search engine when you focus in the omnibox, telling it to get ready to provide suggestions. That signal includes the URL of the currently displayed search engine results page. Your IP address and certain cookies are also sent to your default search engine with all requests, in order to return the results that are most relevant to you. To provide suggestions and search results faster, Chrome may preconnect to your default search engine in the background. ![]() Chrome will not preconnect if you have either turned off “Preload pages for faster browsing and searching” in the “Cookies” part of “Privacy and security” section or "Autocomplete searches and URLs" in the “Sync and Google services” section of Chrome's settings. When Chrome preconnects, it resolves the search engine’s IP address and connects it to the search engine, exposing your IP address. When in Incognito mode, in order to provide these suggestions, Chrome relies on an on-device model that does not communicate with your default search engine until you select a suggestion. ![]()
