Odd redirection

fitittome

I'm using 3.3.2022.47 (Stable channel) (32-bit) on Windows.

I inadvertently type 'ama' followed by enter in the address bar and noticed a very fast redirect and then sent to the amazon.com home page!!! I cannot find anything switched on in the settings that may do this. No extensions apart from Bitwarden.

This worries me a little. Any ideas?

Choose vivaldi://history/ (copy & paste to adress field)

Delete everything! Don´t know if that works... but it´s a first step...

@Ice007 Why do you advice deleting all the history as the first step? The first step would be searching through the history & bookmarks.

Ice007

@potmeklecbohdan Ok... that may work too, But if you have a thousands of Links. Happy searching. ^^

Then better a "clean up" (my opinion)

@potmeklecbohdan @Ice007 Thanks. Yes there was an entry in the bookmarks, not sure where it was from though as I would use the .co.uk site, if any. I didn't expect a bookmark as I hadn't scrolled down to it.

Curiously, I switched the logging on and could see the exchange. I'm not really sure I like this behaviour though, it seems a bit like 'snooping'.....

I inadvertently type 'ama' followed by enter in the address bar

There are settings for address bar autocomplete and for selection from history or bookmarks!
Check through "Tools/Settings/Address Bar" for which you want or don't want.

fitittome

@TbGbe Yes thanks, I'd missed that, too focused on "Tools/Settings/Privacy" where everything was unchecked apart from Do Not Track. LOL.
