        @artest956 When you type on address bar, you may get suggestions from your history and bookmarks. It's by design as far as I know.

            @artest956 It still hasn't been fixed for me either. None of the suggestions on this page did anything and every time I type anything into the address bar, the first thing that comes up are suggestions from my bookmarks.
            I don't want this to happen, but I don't have a choice. This definitely wasn't happening before my original post about it (for me at least), so this had to have been included in an update. I'd been using Opera for roughly a year before this started to happen, and as soon as it did it was immediately obvious (so there's no chance it happened previously and I didn't notice!)

                @leocg Not for me it hasn't.
                It doesn't matter how many times you type that, it doesn't change what I have experienced and am experiencing.

                  In the search bar, whenever i search for something, the first suggestions are always based on my bookmarks. This is unbelievably annoying, and i really do not need that, since bookmarks are precisely made to save urls that you might need later, so why would I need them recommended to me? My question is, is there any way to disable opera recommending bookmarks? If it is possible, i would like the option completely disabled. Also, from what I've gathered, there was a solution that said I should go to opera://flags/#suggestion-scoring-improved and disable the option, however i cannot seem to find said flag.

                      @tiemen i updated Opera and this behavior activated itself automatically afterwards. The flag is not available anymore. Anyone else experiencing the same issue again?

                        @andufo The issue never stopped for me and none of the "fixes" anyone suggested in this thread made any difference so I switched to Firefox almost a year ago as it doesn't happen with Firefox. (I'd forgotten about this until I got an email notification of your post!).

                            @leonhardttobias Agreed. I think it says it all that there was no solution or mention of it being looked at, no further responses, then in the thread there's an almost comical "about a year later" when andufo commented today. Clearly this will not be resolved.

                            When I tried looking into this elsewhere on the web last year I read several things regarding privacy issues with Opera so I'm glad I switched. I'd forgotten how annoying having your bookmarks getting pulled up as suggestions was! Firefox works fine for me and I imported my bookmarks there with no issue.

                              @robor10t i agree. This little "feature" will make me switch to Firefox.

                                      wait, did you just block the website that I, and the OP, currently have the same issue with the suggestion bar....?
                                      And from what I have learned, a lot of other browsers have an option for you to turn off autocomplete URLs from bookmarks.
                                      For me, i have just only used Opera GX for like 3 months, i do really like it, but this issue, yes, its not just me, is really pissing me off.

                                        I don't know if anyone said this yet, but the possibility to either remove suggestions from history and bookmarks, either completely, or for specific sites, should be added due to the fact that - surprise surprise - people do not want their pornhub history and bookmarks popping up when browsing in fron of other people, or when other people borrow their browser. Neither on a computer or not.

                                        I never see anyone stating this outright even though it's likely the main motivation to have the functionality to remove it overall.. and most of us actually do browse porn.

                                        I believe the creators of browsers are sadists, willingly not helping us out with this out of sheer pleasure.
