Disable "Lookalike suggestions" (even show for Favourites/Bookmarks!)


When using multiple websites with similar domain names, Brave prompts (in an aggressive/ intrusive way) whether we really want to go to the website that we have typed in. This happens even though the domain is bookmarked and is a favourite and has recently been used and has cookies.

Other people have raised this in the past and there apparently used to be a flag to disable this, but that flag has gone. Search for “lookalike” in the search bar and you get posts like this one:

This makes Brave unusable for me, as I frequently (once every few minutes) am typing in a site that generates this message, so please help! I am experimenting with alternative browsers until I can find a fix.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Brave 1.79.118 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Chromium: 137.0.7151.61

Additional Information:
Am using a Windows 11 laptop.

Thanks!
