...Word for the wise, you can delete the suggestion by clicking the X button next to it. It won't remind you or automatically pick the wrong one next time.

Could be worse. It could be suggesting Facebook.
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.
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.
You guys aren’t deleting history when the browser closes?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
no that's awful
You clearly don’t have auDHD…
I used to, then i got too frustrated when i accidentally closed the browser and now i don't delete it
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 fix it. It take 8 seconds
8 seconds to hit shift+delete? That’s pretty slow.
Once upon a time you could delete them directly in the adress bar in firefox. Search entries and url alike
Chrome insists that I want to visit 92.168.I.I
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 of exit.
I wanted to go to E*Trade. Went to etrecheck.com instead.
Fucking Firefox. Hasn’t let go of it since almost a decade now.
You can just delete it. When you search choose delete, I think it’s on the right side.
Yeah, you would think that would work.
I've been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 1.2
How is this something you just live with without fixing it?
It does? I did it a few weeks ago.
And that's why I turn off the option for the location bar to suggest websites to me.
Yes, I'm SURE you meant to go to lenonparty.org
When deleting history is hard.
Don't even need to do that, use arrow keys, select the incorrect entry, and press shift+delete
I have the same with archllinux.org (two ls instead of one). :(
