      If I type "y" in the address bar, it gets autocompleted with the full URL of some YouTube video I watched some time ago: youtube.com/watch?v=...

      I think it makes sense to autocomplete frequently visited sites with just the domain part, youtube.com in this case, and/or include the domain part of frequently visited sites in dropdown list.

        I think it could be interesting to still offer the full URLs in the autocomplete selection box. But I also agree that the first option should be for a clean URL. Or at least have an option to make it so...

          IMO the key here is sorting.
          There should be some switch to choose strategy: "base address" / "MRU" / etc...

            This is my largest pet-peeve at the moment with Vivaldi. At 99.9% of the time, I just want to go to bing.com and not bing.com/some/past/search/from/long/ago.

            This would be a huge improvement to the address bar.

              I have the same issue.

              Typing y in the search bar will auto complete to a full video url (youtube.com/watch?v=oDAw7vW7H0c) and not to just youtube.com.

              I've tested Safari, Chrome and Firefox and none of them have the same issue.

              This is driving me mad πŸ˜… I've seen various bug reports reporting this issue from several years ago. Is this truly being fixed?

                Hi, may I donΒ΄t understand correctly but full URL is always shown for me:

                Check if "Show full address" is enabled in the address bar settings.

                Cheers, mib

                  This is about autocomplete
                  if I type the letter y in your address/search bar, I expect Vivaldi to suggest youtube.com.
                  This is not the case. Vivaldi will suggest a complete URL to a specific video, not the root domain.

                  Vivaldi:

                  This behavior is unique to Vivaldi.

                  Chrome:

                  Safari:

                  Firefox: 04da1afc-2b15-48a7-ac3b-405ba064724d-image.png

                  I would like Vivaldi to behave like very other browser here.
