Hi Opera Team,
I am a regular user of Opera and truly enjoy the browser's performance and customization options. However, there is one missing feature that significantly impacts the user experience for many of us.

Currently, there is no built-in setting to prevent bookmarked websites from appearing in the address bar auto-complete suggestions. Whenever I type a single letter in the address bar, it immediately exposes related bookmarks.

This behavior causes issues in two main areas:

-Privacy Concerns: It becomes very difficult to share my screen or use my browser around others without accidentally revealing private or work-related bookmarked URLs.

-Visual Clutter: It forces unnecessary suggestions onto the user when we are simply trying to perform a clean web search.

Many other modern browsers offer a simple toggle switch under privacy settings to disable bookmark suggestions in the address bar. I highly recommend adding a similar option, such as "Show bookmarks in address bar suggestions (On/Off)", in a future update.
