Question regarding preloading

[Graham1840]

Ok, so I need help from someone who knows about this kind of stuff. I was on my work phone and went to a forum that had a link to an adult website on it. Now obviously I didn't click on it and normally wouldn't think twice about it....but I was just reading an article about how a lot of browsers will now preload or prefetch links that they think you may click on next...I guess in order to speed up the page load. Anyway, I know my company can monitor the sites I visit on the phone so now I'm paranoid that that porn site will show up in the access logs. I knew someone who got fired for looking at porn on their work phone so I've kinda got OCD about it. I was using the standard Android browser if that helps. So am I ok or do I need to worry?

I want to say that the stock Android browser doesn't do any preloading/prefetching - I've only seen that option in Chrome.

Thanks for the reply. I looked under Settings on my browser. I see one option under Privacy that says "Preload available links before opening"...it was unchecked. Then under Bandwidth Management, there is an option that says "Preload Webpages", which I had set to "Only Via Wi-Fi". But I am not sure what the difference is between these options or what they actually do.
