I would assume this also happens every time I search on Google with ANY browser, if I also happen to be logged into GMail from the same computer at that time. The auto-complete there, I imagine, works the same way as it does in Chrome.
Not going to let it keep me from using either one, though obviously (this is the... 4th? OMG Chrome security! post on YC in 2 days) it's going to be a hot button issue for awhile.

- pqs 18y agoMany people use google's main site as a location bar. I've seen this quite often, even among people working in science and holding a PhD. It's not only my granny. After writing this comment I saw another comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=294070 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=294070 of a person that says he does this. So it must be quite common.
