Yout... autofill

Recommended Posts

Whenever I type in youtube in my Chrome browser it autofills to this page and it's getting really annoying: 

 

 

How do I make it instead autofill to this page? Any help on this small but annoying problem is greatly appreciated.

With that autocomplete entry selected in the list, press shift+del. This should remove it from your autocomplete suggestions.

Why don't you just bookmark YouTube in your browser and no more typing. Just click. You know, favorites..

This is probably browser specific, but I have a youtube.com bookmark and I just type F6 (jump to address bar) 'y' then enter to go to youtube.  If you don't want to clear your cache, you could type y and use the arrow keys to select youtube.com a few times until it becomes your most visited.

Thank you Essel! Essel's suggestion worked wonders (and super easy!) Now to figure out how to get 'y' to autofill with the orca video (and not just www.youtube.com). :D

🤣🤣 yo mine is worse. I get stupid porn ads when I got my computer first. It took me a week to install ad block considering I had no internet at that point.

maybe instead of "youtube" you could type some string of letters that's more unique to your desired video? You may need an extra keypress then to select the right suggestion, but it may show up more reliably. At least that's my assumption, since I don't use chrome but I think it may be similar enough to firefox in that regard. I've been doing that a lot before to quickly get to doomworld threads, just by typing something like "2018" or "booth".
