Why does Google send a request every time you type into the console


Why and how does Google send a network request every time you type into the browser console?

Try the following: - go to google.com - open the inspect element console - go to the "network" tab and clear it - go to the "console" tab and start typing - see the requests made by you typing into the browser console in the "network" tab

Can't replicate on Firefox/macOS. Maybe Chrome-only?
