Hi:

Am I being naive or is everything I type in the address bar in Safari, 
translated via Google?  Even if I know the address, the simple act of typing it 
in the address bar transmits it to Google.

If I then use Snitch to block Google, I am unable to connect to the site.  All 
this even without any need to involve Google - or for that matter Bing/Yahoo - 
since I know the address I want.

I would have thought this a major invasion of privacy.  AFAIK the only way 
round it is to type the address into something like DuckDuckGo or IxQuick.

Chris
