    If it gets suggested, you can select it with arrow keys and press shift+del, problem solved.

    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.

    You can just delete it. When you search choose delete, I think it’s on the right side.
