That is probably related to "Predict network actions ..." in Chrome
advanced settings.

Hi,

fyi
I've seen Chrome (on Mac OSX) doing at least two requests to the
"first domains" of the results of a search
It appears to be like a pre-cache functionality, however I didn't
investigate more (so I don't know if it is related to pre-load / Do
Not Track)
I wonder how it could be used in combination with techniques like
google bombing for tracking or malware...

this error is solved in last version *2.11.134.*

I have been written an advisory for this:
