When one begins entering a URL in the URL bar, previously visited sites are suggested, however, there may be sites the user does not wish to have suggested for either privacy concerns or convenience (inclusive 'or'). Allowing a user to selectively remove a given site would alleviate this.

On Windows, this feature might work like this:

URL starts to be entered: mo...
The following sites are suggested:
1. MOzilla.org
2. MOney.com
3. MOnstertrucks.org
4. MichaelshOwalterrules.tv
5. MicrOsoft.com

A user perhaps does not visit microsoft.com on a regular basis, or has changed his browsing habits and no longer visits on a regular basis and therefore would like to remove 5. I propose the ability to right-click line 5 to delete this site from showing up, until the next time visited.

Without being a programmer or having intimate knowledge of how this function works, I'm going to suggest that no 'block sites from showing in the URL bar' list/db be created, as it would seem to be unnecessary bloat. What could be done is take advantage of the current history/cookie editing components and interface the delete/remove feature into a right-click option for the tool bar.

Perhaps there would be two options: 1) "Remove Site" - This would delete perhaps just the cookie (if this is in fact where the URL suggestions draw from); 2) "Remove All" - This would remove cookies associated with the domain, history data, and all other relevant stored information.

Thanks for your time, and apologies if this has already been suggested. I did perform a search, but admittedly was a little overwhelmed and may have missed the relevant result(s).

Reproducible: Always
