I was impressed when this list came up, but suspicious because I hadn't visited reddit or github yet today.

It's site's you've visited at any time in the past (since the cache was cleared). Anything that would normally show up as purple rather than blue on regular websites.

I took me a minute to figure out, but that hard coded list is the list of URLs it checks to see if you've visited. Try opening a private browser window.
