For example, I typed "h" and it autofilled "https://www.hrblock.com" as a suggestion when I have never even opened that site before.

Do you have the H&R block speed dial on your start page that Opera comes with by default in many areas? If so, move it to the trash and empty the bookmarks trash at the URL opera://bookmarks. Try the same thing for other speed dials on your start page that Opera comes with. Type the first 3 letters of the domain for those speed dials to test if they come up in suggestions. If so, you can remove those speed dials too if you want.

For anything that's in the "Suggestions" category in the address field drop-down that doesn't have an X to the right of it when you're hovering over it (that will be coming from your history despite there being a separate history category), Opera currently has no way to disable those.

Sorry but how exactly is that not a search suggestion? That is exactly what it is, so I'm just curious what you meant by that

That's autocomplet and turning off that option that I have mentioned should disable the feature, I guess.

nor search suggestions

Sorry but how exactly is that not a search suggestion? That is exactly what it is, so I'm just curious what you meant by that.

Also I meant to say "autocomplete" not "autofill", because apparently those are different things.

Either way, it seems that Opera provides no option to fully turn off autocomplete search suggestions like Firefox, Brave, Chrome, Edge, and Safari do, which is rather questionable.

@leocg said in How do I turn off search suggestions and autofill entirely?:

Some pages just seem to remember what you type in some text fields

I'm not sure that's the case... I previously said that I had never visited that site on Opera (or on any browser at all), so how could it have remembered what I have haven't even done in the first place. In fact, I have never visited any of the sites that are autocompleted whenever I type something in the search bar.

For example, I typed "h" and it autofilled "https://www.hrblock.com" as a suggestion when I have never even opened that site before. I want to be able to type anything, like "h", and only "h" shows up in the search bar, without it predicting what im trying to search for.

I'm honestly starting to think that Opera just doesn't have the option to toggle search suggestions off/on fully, which is pretty disappointing if that is the case.

Is there anything else I could try, or does Opera just not have this option?
