Question

How do I keep predictive web addresses from auto-completing?

Jude Vargas

Community Answer

When you partially type in a web address and you'd like to remove the rest of the address coming up automatically, make sure the predicted text is shown in the URL bar and highlighted, then press Shift+Delete. It should remove the predicted text from the bar, and it will remove it from future attempts as well.

Question

When a specific site sends me the URL and I click it, it goes directly to that site. When I type in the URL it will not go to the URL.

All URLs are CaSe SeNsiTive. It is best when naming a webpage to use all lowercase letters and to use a hyphen or line for a space, rather than leaving a blank space between words. However, each author / creator can write their webpages however they want. And the end can be htm, html, php, pdf, and so on.
