This seems to be disabled for me on mobile, but enabled on the desktop. Seems like a helpful feature, though they could've just done something like Firefox where it's an offline search for a website with the same starting letters.

Still, appreciate the writeup and trying to minimize data collection while calling a 3rd party service in the browser and the option to disable it.
