Brief Summary:
As an example, I'll take the last situation that happened. While using a browser when I need to find something in maps I write "maps" in the search bar and other browsers when used frequently they realize that I need Google Maps and the link to it is "maps.google.com" (screenshot 1)

In the case of Orion, it was showing me unexistent webpage and I couldn't solve this problem quickly and had to spam the correct link in the search. Taking Arc browser as an example, I can solve this problem in one click (screenshot 2).

Details:
There is nothing special in this feature. It would be great to have just a little X in the right side of the link and/or a simple shortcut to do so. A very rough example is in the last screenshot (I did it in 15 seconds for an example)

    Vlad The purpose is to remove websites from recommendations. For example the old websites that you don't use anymore but they keep appearing when you start typing with the same letter.

    Like I show in the first screenshot: the website maps.app.goo.gl is not working at all and is used for opening an app on mobile devices but it kept appearing in my Top Hits. With that X I could tap it just once and forget about maps.app.goo.gl.

        The Brave browser has this feature included. I recommended such a feature in one of my early posts here, I guess even before Brave had it.

        There is definitely a point in having it because it might happen that a user once visited a website he doesn't want to see popping up anymore in the suggestions/history.

        @Vlad would love to see this

        I am constantly tryin to open Gmail.com but instead accidentally opening a mailchimp redirect that starts with gmail that I visited once. Having the ability to remove suggestions makes it much easier for me to quickly navigate to a site I want.

          Doesn't seem to be working for top hits.

          it is working properly for history items tho

            No one is typing
