Google Chrome: How to turn off search recommendations on phone or computer (2024)

When a user inputs a search phrase into a web browser, search recommendations display as both short- and long-tail keywords. Based on the user's inquiry, it lists relevant keywords. The terms supplied in the search field are then used to produce the results.

Introduction

One such web browser is Google Chrome, which displays search recommendations after a user types in a similar search term in the search field. Similar to other web browsers, search terms improve user surfing efficiency. In contrast to search history, the recommendations list anticipates search phrases even when a user writes them for the first time. Google's autocomplete feature displays the search results in a timely manner. By exploring the browser's options, one may disable or conceal some recommendations.

Prerequisites:

• Internet connection that is active
• Chrome and Google accounts are connected.
• The computer or smartphone is running the most recent version of Chrome.

Observe these methods to get rid of Google search recommendations on mobile devices:

• Go to the upper right corner of the Chrome browser and click the three dots.
• Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
• Go to "Sync and Google Services" and select it.
• Toggle the "Autocomplete searches and URLs" option off by scrolling down.

Use these procedures to get rid of Google search recommendations from your computer or laptop:

• Chrome should now be open.
• Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of your screen, then select "Settings," to access the Settings menu.
• Select "You and Google" option and opt for "Sync and Google Services".
• Subsequently, turn off "Autocomplete searches and URLs" under the "other service" option.
• To check, type in the "Address bar."

Users won't receive search suggestions after doing the aforementioned actions. In the address bar, type a search term to verify. Try restarting your browser in case it doesn't work.

A recent Google feature called price drop alerts customers when a product's price reduces on an e-commerce website. As was already said, Google creates autocomplete recommendations by examining the webpage's search contents. Consequently, by monitoring the information on the e-commerce website, Google is able to offer price reductions. Not just search engines employ search recommendations. Search recommendations are frequently used by e-commerce companies to increase purchases.

The text recommendations have drawn criticism from some users who cite privacy concerns.
They claim that recommendation text boxes replicate the behavior of pop-up advertisem*nts by sending data to a central server.
