toast will become famous soon enough
Angry Safari has some commercial links in it ?!

CAUTION: I may be wrong on this one.

I have browsed only a few sites with Safari:

www.2advanced.com (Flash test)
www.macosx.com (obviously)
www.desktoppublishing.com/board/ (forum test)
www.apple.com
www.versiontracker.com/macosx/

HOWEVER, if I type "18" in the address bar, I get this link to display : www.1800flowers.com/

I thought this was strange. I tried to enter "4", and I got : www.4d.com/ !
This link has obvious reference to Apple, to MWSF etc. Are those some commercial links which are already in Safari's memory ?

This is weird. I don't like Safari having some links in it when I launch it for the first time. I feel some commercial grip: all those sites are commercial.

Please tell me my thread is wrong and should be erased. I'm using Safari 1.0 Beta (v48).

Yea toast, they are bookmarks that come with Safari, click the bookmark icon (the left most icon that looks like an open book), see all the folders in there? That's what Safari is auto-typing.

Every browser I've used that I can recall has preloaded bookmarks too.
