Google Chrome -- Google search json download

Alright so about every 30 seconds that I type searches into google's automatic search engine, google chrome downloads these "search.json" files. Why are they downloading and what can I do to prevent this from happening in the future?

The consensus is that FastestChrome causes this issue. Though you don't have to delete the entire app. The google product forums () suggest turning off these features in FastestChrome's options to get rid of the problem:

-Popup Bubble / Search Engines: uncheck google AND Google Maps. -Uncheck the boxes under the Search Results tab

This issue is caused by FastestChrome. The solution is to disable it ("Tools" >> "Extensions" >> "FastestChrome - Browse Faster" >> Uncheck "Enabled"). There seems to be a consensus on a Google forum topic that FastestChrome is causing the issue. I have confirmed myself.

Additionally, Mozilla Firefox users with FastestFox do experience the same issue. Disabling FastestFox should also resolve the problem.
