this has been driving me INSANE for months. nearly went back to firefox more than once.
thanks to this post i was able to work out the bull shit magic spell in setting to override the useless "Address Auto-Complete". that toggle has zero effect. on or off, vivaldi address bar will ALWAYS auto-complete what ever is on top in the dropdown menu UNLESS "Search / Go To" is in the top position in the "Drop-down Menu Priority" list.

if you set anything else in the the top of the list, eg.. Bookmarks. and then type "github.com" vivaldia will always load from the dropdown list even if Address Auto-Complete is turned off....

Even if you click the "Reset to Default" under this list vivaldi will place their cooperate sponsors, excuse me "Best Results" in the top of the list.
soooo, this is a bug by design.
