Option to disable search, history and bookmarks suggestions in address bar

When I type a character in the addressbar, Opera not only after each character input shows me a new pop up with suggestions fom search history, page history and bookmarks but is also uses autocomplete.
I want none of that.
I am not talking about predictive URL suggestions from the net, those can be partly switched off, I am talking about internal ones.
There have been of course threads about it and the last consensus from 6 yeras ago was: not possible to switch it off.
Of course in theory it would be possible. All Opera needs to do is to provide is a setting to switch this stroke inducing feature off.
I am leaving Opera for now because my health is more important than a fast browser.

@tara99 As said, start typing something in the address bar for the suggestions to show up. Then click on the cogwheel icon in the top right of it and disable what you don't want.

@leocg Can you provide a screenshot, please? I am using Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.30)
and cannot find the cogwheel you're talking about. Didn't find how to disable bookmarks popping in the search bar as suggestions in the settings either.

Thanks

@xtard It's because those options are no longer available.

@leocg Thanks for the quick reply. Do you happen to know the last version that supported it?

@tara99 that's really frustrating that Opera doesn't have an option to disable those auto-complete suggestions. I can understand why constant popups would be stressful. It's a shame they removed that cogwheel setting too. I'd suggest trying different browsers to see if any let you turn that off. Your health is definitely more important - hopefully you're able to find one with options that work better for you.
