Google Chrome is one of the most used web browsers in the world by millions of users for its dynamism, scalability, development and environment options, Google Chrome has certain functions configured by default which allow the search and navigation task to be much Simpler and one of these functions are the autocomplete suggestions through which Google Chrome launches site suggestions as we enter the text either in the URL bar or in forms..

Although it is a useful function in some cases, in many others these suggestions are completed with random words, search terms a bit old and certain words that have nothing to do with the current search and that can lead us to an unwanted site or just not useful.
