I use the Google search engine as it simply works, where as the brave browser is rather poor.
But Google throws up an enormous amount of suggestions while I am typing, and it sort of autoselects the suggestion on the basis of which line my mouse cursor is in alignment with.
The method to kill the autocomplete off is this:
**Navigate to Settings → Advanced → Privacy and Security —> Autocomplete searches and URLs —> OFF
And it does not work.

Turn Off Google Instant Suggestions In Google Chrome
Turning off autocomplete in Chrome is a fairly easy matter. To turn off Google’s suggestions in Chrome, follow these steps:
Open Chrome.
Click on the hamburger menu (≡).
Click on Settings .
Under People , click on Sync and Google services .
I mean there are some good things about the google software but control and “off” isn’t one of them.
The google search engine is way better than any of them, but it just comes with functions that are kind of insane and hard to turn off.

This does not work either.

Click on Settings.
Scroll down and click on Additional settings.
Under Privacy and Security, turn the toggle towards off next to Use a prediction service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar.
Click on the hamburger menu (≡).

Yeah I am using the google search engine in the brave browser.
I tend to despise google, but their search engine is very good, where as the brave browser gives very limited amounts of returns and if I am looking in Australia for a specific issue, then it has a tendency to return results from all around the world… and very few in Australia.
And yes, I am setting the search locality to Australia…
But google throws up HUGE lists of suggestions and there is no way to kill them off apparently.
