Address Bar/Search Unwanted Domains/Ads auto-completing

Description of the issue:
I have “Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar” turned off and I am using the default Google search engine.

Nonetheless, when I start to type something that I’d expect to show up in my bookmarks, I’m given a list of domains that I’ve never visited or bookmarked instead.

For example, if I type “vo” to match a bookmark beginning with “vo” I instead get:

lenovo.com

Or if I type, “ad” I get:

adcash.com
adobe.com

This stuff isn’t bookmarked and it isn’t in my history. How can I turn it off?

Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.

  1. Turn off “Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar”
  2. Type “vo” or “ad” (or whatever) into the address bar

Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Useless domains that are not bookmarked or in your history are presented to you, instead of what you’d actually expect from your bookmarks.

Expected result:
Don’t ever display results in the search bar that aren’t in your bookmarks or history if you have the predictive service turned off.

Reproduces how often:
Consistently, every time.
