Favorite "keywords" field behavior

Unread post by cartel » 2021-11-11, 05:08

Today I used a toolbar bookmark to quickly save a link and closed my browser.
Later, I tried to open that link that was saved to the keywords section of the bookmark.
The link was redirected to the original bookmark link unexpectedly.

Are these bookmarks able to redirect and is there a way to disable that?
other than accidental misuse, it makes my think that this could be a security issue if that field gets populated unknowingly.

This is my first time using the keywords field so I apologize if I am not understanding its intention.

The keyword field is used for keyword searches.
