Fresh Brave install comes with url completions #3141

Closed codrus closed 7 years ago

codrus commented 8 years ago

Noticed when giving Brave a spin that it came installed with some url completions. For example, when typing in twitter I get (everytime): https://twitter.com/libidorush1 (naked women) http://twister.net.co/

Under privacy I have it set to clear browsing history, but these never go away.

Win10

I have no idea where these could be coming from unless you have some sort of malware.

You can use shift+Delete to remove entries (If using a macbook or something add in Fn) They should be gone from clearing history though already so I'll leave this open. Confirming we don't have these suggestions in our packaging.

bbondy commented 8 years ago

Could you take a screenshot? I would like to see which grouping they show up under.

@luixxiul thanks for closing this out 😄

The entries in top500.js list are coming from the Alexa 500 and definitely do not include the entries listed above
