Tip #571

Turn off Address Field Drop-Down Menu for more private browsing.

Do you often show things on the web to someone sitting next to you and discover yourself thinking that you’d prefer if they couldn’t see your previous searches, history, and more? A great solution for that is to disable the Address Field Drop-Down menu. That way, matching suggestions won’t be displayed as you type a search term or a link in the Address Field.

To disable the Address Field Drop-Down Menu:

  1. Go to Settings > Address Bar > Drop-Down Menu.
  2. Disable “Show Drop-Down when Typing”.
Address Bar Settings. An arrow is pointing at the "Show Drop-Down when Typing" setting.
