Du solltest vorsichtiger mit deinen Aussagen sein. Ich bin kein Anwalt und ich weiß nicht, was da heute im Bundestag vorgefallen ist, aber jemanden als “demokratiefeindlich” zu bezeichnen ist unter Umständen Verleumdung.

Safari sends requests to websites just by autocompleting the URL bar to a URL you've visited before. Runs the site's JS, too.

If this is done on purpose (eg to enhance performance) I say it's a bad idea for privacy reasons. Also creates unnecessary traffic for servers.
