If I understand your setup correctly then it's the browser that's 
sending the credentials, not Squid.

HTTP is stateless, each time the browser makes a new request it must 
reauthenticate.  For convenience your browser will store authentication 
data and automatically forward it until either authentication is no 
longer required, or the credentials become invalid.
