I have visited maps-dot-com so many times, because of one mistake.
Could be worse. It could be suggesting Facebook.
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
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.
Can also highlight the suggestion and hit the “X”, at least in some browsers.
That’s one of the reasons i completely disable the History in my Webbrowsers
You guys aren’t deleting history when the browser closes?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why would I?
Nothing to gain but a lot of annoyance
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.
no that’s awful
I do a fresh install of my OS every time I turn my computer off. Better safe than not safe.
I used to, then i got too frustrated when i accidentally closed the browser and now i don’t delete it
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.
About every other month or so. That’s just for the locked down home pc. Phone is no history.
Yes, I’m SURE you meant to go to lenonparty.org
Imagine if there was a real site there.
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.
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
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.
Just delete it
And that’s why I turn off the option for the location bar to suggest websites to me.
When deleting history is hard.
Don’t even need to do that, use arrow keys, select the incorrect entry, and press shift+delete
