Brave is doing exactly what it supposed to do. My problem is not knowing how to make a certain adjustment.
When I start typing reddit.com into the address bar, it automatically fills with suggestions I need to remove from where ever the suggestions are stored.
I deleted all the history records from the History database that contain “reddit.com”. That had no effect on the behavior I am tying to change.
usually, the suggested urls are great, but for me, in the case of reddit, it is leading to mistakes I make. I can avoid the mistakes by entering “reddit.com “ (notice the space after .com.) The problem is I forget to add the space and go to the wrong place.
Where are the URL suggestions stored and how can I remove the ones for reddit.com?
@carla_rogers individual suggestions can be delete on the line. So to the right of where you see Andruil 2video or whatever, you should see an x.
Such as in the screenshot below, you can see where I moused over and there’s an X. Then I’m seeing text appear that says Remove Suggestion. Clicking it deletes that one particular entry.
But as to what specifically is bringing that up, it depends on your settings.
Show autocomplete suggestions in address bar is the one. This is at brave://settings/appearance and it’s picking based on whatever you choose, like if it’s History, Bookmarks, or whatever.
I’m not aware of any particular file or setting to see this big list of things, but it will fetch based on that.
In the past, it also used to be influenced by Improve Search Suggestions which is at brave://settings/search. When toggled on, it’s feeding your prompt to the search engine and is going to offer suggestions based on what it thinks you want. But when I just tried, it wasn’t offering it as autocomplete, so that may have been improved.
To add to what Saoiray said, because of this issue
(that being History / random sites getting in the way of more helpful things),
I just decided to turn OFF History under brave://settings/appearance > Show autocomplete suggestions in address bar
So that stuff like that wouldn’t populate in the search field/address bar
and then for example just Bookmarked “https://www.reddit.com/”
and left the Bookmarks under the above settings ON,
so that only the staple, legit urls concerning such particular sites come up,
and if I need to, I can just go to History which I have as a Pinned Tab (amongst others).
But that’s just me, something to try or consider… or not
