Man I’m having a … what’s the opposite of a love affair? Hate affair? I’m having a hate affair with Apple recently. The last thing they did I approved of was making the update M-chip macbook pros with HDMI out, no touchbar and SD card readers built in. That was the last good decision that company made.

The thing that’s currently pissing me off is there seems to be no way to completely turn off the safari URL bar autocomplete mess they’ve enabled. It’s such a disastrous feature that I’m considering running safari completely in private mode from now on. Say you’ve searched for something in the past. Say that thing was monster hunter wilds benchmark steam deck. This happened when they released the benchmark too and I wanted to confirm that this game would cause your steamdeck to explode and melt down into a tiny ball. Well guess what? Anytime you start to type “monster hu…” into the search bar, monster hunter wilds benchmark steam deck - google search is going to autocomplete. It’s insane! Hey. Have you ever gone to a specific website address on a website you may visit for more than one reason? Lets just say you’ve typed in CyberBuffalo.party/games into your browser URL bar once. now anytime you start typing CyberBuffalo and say you hit enter quickly, you’re headed straight to games, pal. And since they love hiding information behind veils of high design you won’t know that until whatever tld you were trying to reach loads.

It’s a load of horseshit that feels like it was invented specifically to compete with google autocomplete. And there is no way to turn it off without disrupting every form of autocomplete in macOS. Just another absolutely bone-headed decision to make. Look, make bad decisions all you want all day long, just fucking let me turn them off.
