Other Changes
[
r1927
]
Stop adding content from HTTPS sites to the searchable index
.
Google Chrome keeps a searchable history of pages you visit. This history is only stored locally on your computer. Previously, this searchable history included the text from secure sites, such as your online bank (any sites using SSL for security). Google Chrome no longer saves text from secure pages in its local history. The address bar and local history search page will no longer find data from secure sites you have visited.
If you are concerned about data that might have been indexed for searching before this release, you can follow the Google Chrome Help Center instructions for
clearing your browsing history
.

Don't send sensitive URLs to search suggest services.
Google Chrome stops sending data to a suggest service if the typed URL:
contains a username:password field (
http://username:password@example.com/
)
has query parameters (the trailing ?param=data following the URL)
is an https URL with any path component (any part following the hostname, such as /path in
https://www.example.com/path
)
