Have you ever typed a URL into Google Chrome incorrectly? For example, adding an extra character, or maybe misspelling a word? In many cases, Chrome will save that URL to your autosuggestions, meaning that it will be there any time you try to type in that URL. Here’s how delete an unwanted autocomplete suggestion on Google Chrome.
For me personally, I’ve either spelled a URL wrong or added something like an underscore or dash to the end by mistake. If you don’t pay attention, that URL suggestion just stays there which can mess with searches from the omnibar or just accessing that page in general. It can be really frustrating!
Thankfully, Chrome has a very easy way to delete unwanted URL suggestions using a keyboard shortcut.
In this example, we’re going to say that Chrome has saved the URL “www.amazon.com/_” as the default suggestion versus the standard “www.amazon.com.”
This is a simple enough process, but it really comes in handy if you make a stupid mistake. If you’re not a fan of Google Chrome, the same process applies to Mozilla…
