Most people do not know how easily you can remove wrong address bar results (i.e., accidentally going to the wrong website): press [down arrow] to the wrong result + press [shift + delete].
Why should Microsoft add a small text line (see screenshot) to tell users this key-combo:
Easy Solution: Microsoft should write "[shift] + [del] to remove" after users press down with the arrow keys; you can write it gray and small to avoid clutter.
More Intense Solution: implement a right-click context menu for address bar results that includes "Remove from browser history".
I know MANY casual computer users who've mistyped something here (i.e, "Google Search - Facebook.con") when they wanted "Facebook - Facebook.com" and then it's stuck there forever. Example: I wanted to go to thesaurus.com when I type "synonym", but ended up at synonym.com (i.e., incorrect prediction for me).
Overall, shortcut key combos should always be noted.

@ikjadoon Or adding an X at the end of each stored history item in the drop down could be another alternative.

Google Chrome Canary actually has two new flags:
I have no idea if these two are in Chromium.
This is no solution but is something for Microsoft to implement that would complement this.

Thank you @ikjadoon! This is a great tweak that would help educate many users to functionality that already exists, but is rarely used. I have sent a pointer to this thread to the owner of the Address bar. I want to thank you for taking the time to try our new browser and giving us feedback to help make it better.

@ikjadoon Very disappointing and frustrating that this is still not implemented.
