The iptables configuration is as follows:

$ sudo iptables -L
Output:
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination


I have read that with this configuration, my browser only accepts data from the Internet, if it has requested the data. This means that all packets that the browser has not requested are dropped.

I doubt that you have read that.  It is wrong.  Your remaining questions are
based on an assumption which is false, and therefore need no answer.

You really should read some of the documentation which I mentioned in
my previous reply to you.
