What I will say needs to be fact check because I never dig much on it since I'm not using w11 so I can be wrong. There is a feature called recall which take regular snapshot on w11.
A quick search about gives different results but it is apparently a opt in feature, so unless you enabled it, it shouldn't.

If you think it does this from your browser search, try using a second device which isn't windows based to browse the net and see if its still guesses right
Recall is only on copilot+ PCs, not all windows 11 PCs
Thanks for the clarification
