I'm using Chrome 21.0.1180.49 beta on Mac OS X 10.7.4.

Did some Googling and can't figure this out.

I visited a page on nypost.com earlier this morning. Just noticed that Little Snitch is reporting that nypost.com is being called every 4-6 seconds or so. I closed the tab after reading the story, a few hours ago.

I created a rule in Little Snitch denying access to nypost.com, but Chrome is apparently still connecting to it.

(1) Why? and

(2) How can I put an end to this?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
