Could be worse. It could be suggesting Facebook.
If it gets suggested, you can select it with arrow keys and press shift+del, problem solved.
It’s amazing how different people are. Some will live their entire lives with a wrong suggestion or a “mystery apple charge every month” and never care to investigate or at least google it.
Relevant part of a pretty good song that sums this up.
Can also highlight the suggestion and hit the “X”, at least in some browsers.
Once upon a time you could delete them directly in the adress bar in firefox. Search entries and url alike
Highlight suggestion with arrow keys, shift + del, success?
This is the way
You guys aren’t deleting history when the browser closes?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why would I?
Nothing to gain but a lot of annoyance
no that’s awful
I do a fresh install of my OS every time I turn my computer off. Better safe than not safe.
pfff… I install a different OS every time i boot my computer. I’m on Hanna Montana atm.
You clearly don’t have auDHD…
Well I have and I always disable browsing history. Too much clutter otherwise. Whatever I want to revisit gets a bookmark. The rest must be purged or I’m gonna go insane
I used to, then i got too frustrated when i accidentally closed the browser and now i don’t delete it
I use “private” browsing for like 95% of my internet browsing, and “normal” browsing for important stuff. That way the browser will remember “important” stuff including download sources etc, and for the rest I can sleep easy knowing that my embarassing typos at least aren’t remembered by my browser.
People care about privacy until it’s inconvenient. I can’t think of any websites I would trust to keep a cookie on my PC indefinitely, so I wipe everything when I shut down my PC once a day.
My personal method is streamlining access to my password manager so logging in is easier.
Deleting cookies is vastly deferent than deleting the browser history.
About every other month or so. That’s just for the locked down home pc. Phone is no history.
I have visited maps-dot-com so many times, because of one mistake.
to be fair t is so far away from k that’s not a simple typo and you deserve to be mocked
Your comment got me curious, and it turns out that’s true even for alternative layouts Dvorak & Colemak.
To see inside of the mind of someone who goes to facebook daily for 15 years on a dvorak keyboard.
Your comment got me curious, and it turns out that’s true even for layouts like Workman & Halmak
You can fix it. It take 8 seconds
8 seconds to hit shift+delete? That’s pretty slow.
The 8 seconds may include looking up how to fix it, since it’s apparently unknown to the poster. But you don’t get any imaginary internet dopamine points for that
Dammit, I thought faceboot.com would have a funny typosquatter site on it, but it just redirects to Facebook…
The one time I type
exit()in powershell instead ofexit.That’s on you for using Microslop products
Oh, I don’t. That was on my work laptop.
Yes, I’m SURE you meant to go to lenonparty.org
Imagine if there was a real site there.
Chrome insists that I want to visit 92.168.I.I
I insist I don’t want to use Chrome, but search suggestions for local IP ranges is really annoying.
That’s one of the reasons i completely disable the History in my Webbrowsers
Just delete it
I wanted to go to E*Trade. Went to etrecheck.com instead.
Fucking Firefox. Hasn’t let go of it since almost a decade now.
You can just delete it. When you search choose delete, I think it’s on the right side.
deleted by creator
Yeah, you would think that would work.
I’ve been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 1.2
How is this something you just live with without fixing it?
You’re asking me or asking a rhetorical question? Me, I just go to us.etrade.com instead. It’s stupid and irritating. But it is what it is.
And that’s why I turn off the option for the location bar to suggest websites to me.
