Google Chrome is such an exceptional web browser that once you download it and start using it on your desired operating system, your browsing experience gets all the more easier and convenient. This browser also allows us to auto-complete our searches based upon the trending searches as well as the URLs that we have previously visited. However, some users prefer to complete these searches by typing in everything on their own. Therefore, in this guide, we will teach you the steps of turning off the auto-completion of the searches on Google Chrome.
For turning off the auto-completion of the searches based upon the trending searches or the previously visited pages of Google Chrome, you just have to follow the procedure explained below:
You need to go to the Settings page of Google Chrome and click on the Sync and Google services tab from this page.
By performing the above-mentioned step, you will be navigated to the Other Google services settings. From here, you need to locate the setting saying, “Autocomplete searches and URLs” and turn off the associated toggle button. This in turn will disable the auto-completion of the searches on Google Chrome based upon trending searches or your previously viewed pages.
By following the method discussed above, you can turn off the auto-completion of the searches on Google Chrome instantly. However, when you feel like you need to use this feature again, then you can simply turn on the toggle button that you turned off in the second step of this method.
