Modern browsers have integrated functions that facilitate navigation either by displaying various search options or, in this case, by launching suggestions based on what we type in the address bar, this is practical since we can have a direct link from there to a specific topic, but in other cases it can be annoying to click wrongly and go to an unwanted site..

In the case of Safari , the macOS High Sierra integrated browser, the suggestions are active by default and today we will learn to disable them in a simple way.

This method applies equally to Safari and Safari Technology Preview..
