Delete specific websites directly from Omnibox
ikjadoon It sure looks like something got lost along the way, I tried every possible key combination ( Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Fn, Winkey) with the Delete key and none of them work. Hope they get this fixed. I love your right click suggestion. HotCakeX could you confirm this problem on your Canary setup please?
on Canary Version 79.0.297.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit),
the past history in the omnibox drop down menu can't be right clicked nor deleted using any buttons or keys.
only way is to delete them from the browser history
HotCakeX, Jacques Van de Meerssche, ikjadoon, I just tried this on my Canary 79.0.297.0, and was able to delete the sites that were in the suggestion list due to my history. Sites that have the magnifying glass icon, do not appear to be capable of deletion. I will check with the owner of Search, but it looks like you can still delete some of the suggestions from the search bar. I haven't verified that they have been removed from my browsing history, but they don't show up in subsequent searches that I have done. Thanks - Elliot
Thank you for your rapid response HotCakeX . Browser history allows one to delete individual/all sites but it does not seem to allow for the deletion of typos. Those are the ones that are really annoying me.
Can you please try deleting your typos by first typing that word and then hold SHIFT and press DELETE. you need to do it on the omnibox.
- Begin by typing the first few letters of the URL into the URL bar – “www.you”
- From that point, Edge insider browser should auto-suggest the incorrect URL
- Ensure that the URL is highlighted, and press Shift + Delete (Windows) or Fn + Shift + Delete (Mac) on your keyboard to remove the suggestion
- Once deleted, Edge insider will move on to the next suggestion available
Nope, no luck HotCakeX .
Started typing the url, used down arrow key to highlight incorrect suggestion in omnibox. Shift/Del with no result. By the way, I completely cleaned my browsing history and it still suggests sites I previously visited.
