What commenters say

• Safari's behavior of redirecting 'realty.com' to 'realtor.com' is unacceptable and may be a glitch.
• The redirect may be caused by Safari's autocomplete feature or location-based redirection.
• Disabling private browsing or turning off 'Suggestions in Search' may prevent the redirect.
• The issue may be specific to certain regions or devices.
• Some users believe that Safari's behavior is a value-added service, steering users away from potentially hostile sites.
• Others argue that a browser should not guess or alter the user's intended destination, even if it is a .com domain.
• The discussion also touches on the topic of browser history and privacy, with some users clearing their history regularly and others finding it useful to keep.
• The use of end-to-end encryption for storing browser history is also mentioned, but its implications are debated.
