This is a serious violation of the user's privacy. The related articles should
only show up if the user clicks on a "What's Related" button, otherwise the URL
should not be sent to Alexa.
related to or dup of bug 53239 but the summary/OS there isn't very clarifying so
letting this one hang in for now.
(btw.. can it be related to the fix for bug 50594?)

I'm marking as a dupe of 53239, under the assumption that they will address the
issue of making Alexa queries while the sidebar is closed... Someone made that
comment already on that bug. It is a P1 and nsbeta3+, so it will hopefully get
addressed quicker than if this bug was left seperate.
