Good guy navigation bar. Sounds like a win

to be fair t is so far away from k that's not a simple typo and you deserve to be mocked

Just delete it

Your comment got me curious, and it turns out that's true even for alternative layouts Dvorak & Colemak.

You can fix it. It take 8 seconds

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.

Chrome insists that I want to visit 92.168.I.I

8 seconds to hit shift+delete? That’s pretty slow.

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

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

I insist I don't want to use Chrome, but search suggestions for local IP ranges is really annoying.

You guys aren’t deleting history when the browser closes?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

no that's awful

And that's why I turn off the option for the location bar to suggest websites to me.

I have the same with archllinux.org (two ls instead of one). :(

Yeah, you would think that would work.

When deleting history is hard.

About every other month or so. That's just for the locked down home pc. Phone is no history.

The one time I type exit() in powershell instead of exit.

Don't even need to do that, use arrow keys, select the incorrect entry, and press shift+delete

Dammit, I thought faceboot.com would have a funny typosquatter site on it, but it just redirects to Facebook...

I've been using Firefox since it was Netscape Navigator 1.2

How is this something you just live with without fixing it?

Highlight it in the dropdown (using the arrow keys), then Shift+Del

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.

Your comment got me curious, and it turns out that's true even for layouts like Workman & Halmak

I used to, then i got too frustrated when i accidentally closed the browser and now i don't delete it

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

You clearly don’t have auDHD…

Once upon a time you could delete them directly in the adress bar in firefox. Search entries and url alike

Yes, I'm SURE you meant to go to lenonparty.org

That's on you for using Microslop products

Highlight suggestion with arrow keys, shift + del, success?

This is the way

To see inside of the mind of someone who goes to facebook daily for 15 years on a dvorak keyboard.

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.

Can also highlight the suggestion and hit the “X”, at least in some browsers.

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.

You’re asking me or asking a rhetorical question? Me, I just go to us.etrade.com instead. It’s stupid and irritating. But it is what it is.

Imagine if there was a real site there.

Could be worse. It could be suggesting Facebook.

That's one of the reasons i completely disable the History in my Webbrowsers

Oh, I don't. That was on my work laptop.

Why would I?

Nothing to gain but a lot of annoyance

I do a fresh install of my OS every time I turn my computer off. Better safe than not safe.

I have visited maps-dot-com so many times, because of one mistake.

Relevant part of a pretty good song that sums this up.

pfff… I install a different OS every time i boot my computer. I'm on Hanna Montana atm.

Deleting cookies is vastly deferent than deleting the browser history.

Well I have and I always disable browsing history. Too much clutter otherwise. Whatever I want to revisit gets a bookmark. The rest must be purged or I'm gonna go insane
