> Not a problem, you put it on the web and it will be crawled. Did you ever use Chrome? They report every URL you type to the Google Crawler. Read that anywhere lately?

Do you have a source for this? I Googled (!) and found this: https://www.stonetemple.com/google-chrome-discover-pages , which implies the opposite.

I don't use Chrome personally, but I do occasionally dump [none-too critical] preview files on open but otherwise 'hidden' urls on a domain for clients to view. I just find it easier for clients to deal with than inevitably lost passwords, etc, and tend to ask them to let me know when they're done so I can delete the folder.

I'd be interested to know whether their likely use of Chrome means that Google has a pattern of understanding of my domain space!
