When I start typing a url in the address bar / search bar, it starts to suggest urls I have visited previously. This happens even in incognito mode.

How do I disable this?

I think the only option is to clear browsing history and turn off sync. I explored other settings, but there don't seem to be any other options available in my opinion.

This seems like an ideal case for a feature request. Is there already one open for this?

It looks like OCP-826 got opened, not sure what the process is like.

Thank you!

Hi ,

Thanks for the update! It does sound like a feature request would be the ideal solution for this issue. I'll check out OCP-826 to see the status and process for follow-up.

In the meantime, if there are any other workarounds or settings that might help, I'm open to suggestions.
