How to delete address bar suggestions

Question

You know when you type something into the address bar, and it comes up with suggestions and sites you have visited, is there any way to delete those?

Answer 1

Highlight the entry and:

• Shift+Delete on a PC
• Shift+FN+Delete a Mac

To disable autocomplete in general

• open the Chrome Settings
• Show advanced settings (at the bottom)
• Under Privacy, uncheck
  • "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar."
  • use a prediction service to load pages more quickly

The completions will still appear as dropdown items and you can arrow down to select them - if you want to, but they won't be automatically applied.

Answer 2

Chances are you have the site bookmarked

Enter the site so as it does show up in your browser history. Then go into your history, you'll probably see a star at the end of the url in the history page. Click on that and it'll remove it from bookmarks, then you can delete the site normally.

Answer 3

On linux (ubuntu) with chrome: while starting typing and then having specific item highlighted as suggestion: Crtl + Shift + Delete

Answer 4

You can do it by removing them from Chrome history:

• presss CTRL+H or just navigate to chrome://history
• look for the items you want to remove (you can even use the search box at the top right) and check the box next to them
• click "Remove selected items"

Answer 5

Easiest solution is to hit the delete button when you see the suggestion- that will delete that particular site alone from history. If you want to delete all, clear your browsing history. Best solution would be using the browser in private mode when you don't want that for few sites alone. Permanent solution would be changing the privacy settings in your browser.
