Hi,
Yesterday I doubled-clicked on a .mov file and rather than simply opening in
QuickTime, it went through a lengthy conversion process. The resulting
converted file is twice as large. This was an HD video that went from 20 GB
to 40 GB, so it could add up if I convert a bunch of these.

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 fact, using the default Safari preferences, even your examples WILL be sent
