  Does Chrome submit URLs you visit to the Google search indexer?
  
  Today I surprisingly found a page in a Google search I was looking through, but I know I'm the only person who could have possibly visited the page.
  
  The page was a debugging URL I was using to monitor some server activity, and I never shared it with anyone or pasted it in any chat interface. It is even running on a non-standard port, so even visiting the root domain wouldn't lead a crawler to it.
  
  Is it possible that Chrome is submitting URLs I visit to be indexed by the Google search bots?
