I switched off Chrome’s suggestion service in the address bar…
…because I found it annoying and never found myself using it. Of course not to mention that it is insecure too because all words typed in the address bar were being sent to Google (or whatever suggestion service is being used) effectively acting as a keystroke logger.
Here is how you switch it off:
- Right click on the address bar (omnibox as Google calls it) and select “Edit search engines”.
- Uncheck the check box at the bottom labelled “Use a suggestion service…URLs. typed in the address bar”.
