Steps to reproduce:

  1. Launch the app
  2. Quickly tap the address bar and start typing

Actual results:

when typing p pudelek.pl appears (I'm in Poland so that's likely pre-determined local suggestion)

Expected results:

my frequently visited site starting with p should appear

or if the list isn't populated yet don't show suggestions at all

Hello! What device are you experiencing this issue with?

I reported it using Zenfone 8, am currently experiencing it with Zenfone 10 and I'm pretty confident it also occurred sometimes on Xperia XZ2 Compact, all retail, non-branded versions

Recently I decided to clear history on exit and it still happens sometimes suggesting the site i never visit instead of a bookmarked one

yeah I figured it's likely something default but it's weird as when my list populates (history + bookmarks based one) these don't appear at all, maybe due to my settings, but before the expected list is available this one is used instead, which is pretty inconsistent and it would probably make more sense to show nothing until the h+b list is ready, or at least make it an available setting

recently it became even worse, it may be due to the fact I nuked my settings trying to troubleshoot another issue, but now these built in suggestions take precedence over my bookmarks so I have to type enough letters to exclude them, it would be optimal to just disable these IMO
