I have EXACTLY the same problem as Derfder had. I tried all proposals and advices mentioned below but nothing works. After deleting ALL browsing history, the urls are still in the autosuggestion.

Google Chrome doesn't delete my browsing history correctly

  • Yes; If you read all the answers it says Chrome will still autofill what it believes you want, but it won't be based on your history.

Google Chrome does not delete my browsing history

You need to disable the Prediction Service.


Get predictions in the address bar

When you type in the address bar, Google Chrome can use a prediction service to help you complete the web addresses and search terms that you're entering. For example, typing new york in the address bar could bring up http://www.nytimes.com as a predicted site or [ new york city ] as a predicted search.


Disable the Prediction Service

The prediction service is typically turned on by default. Follow the steps below to turn it off.

  • Click the Chrome menu Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
  • Select Settings.
  • Click Show advanced settings.
  • In the "Privacy" section, deselect the "Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar" checkbox.

Keep in mind that the address bar shows matches from your browsing history, in addition to predictions.

If you don't want to see matches from your browsing history, clear your browsing history.
