Could be worse. It could be suggesting Facebook.
I recognize that punchline structure!
If you play a Windows install disc backwards it plays accursed chants to the dark lord. But that’s nothing. If you play it forwards, it installs Widows!
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.
You guys aren’t deleting history when the browser closes?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no that’s awful
I do a fresh install of my OS every time I turn my computer off. Better safe than not safe.
Why would I?
Nothing to gain but a lot of annoyance
You clearly don’t have auDHD…
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.
I used to, then i got too frustrated when i accidentally closed the browser and now i don’t delete it
About every other month or so. That’s just for the locked down home pc. Phone is no history.
You can fix it. It take 8 seconds
8 seconds to hit shift+delete? That’s pretty slow.
Just delete it
Dammit, I thought faceboot.com would have a funny typosquatter site on it, but it just redirects to Facebook…
Chrome insists that I want to visit 92.168.I.I
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.
…Word for the wise, you can delete the suggestion by clicking the X button next to it. It won’t remind you or automatically pick the wrong one next time.
That’s one of the reasons i completely disable the History in my Webbrowsers
I have visited maps-dot-com so many times, because of one mistake.
This post gave me the giggles.
