I know how to go into options and remove all the browsing data, but when I do that and I go into the browser and start to type a website I've been to before, it auto-populated before I'm finished typing. Is there any way to delete this stored info also?

I think you can click into the search window and press down, that will show what you've typed in there. Then you can press the down arrow again to highlight the first one and hold delete and it should delete all of them. Don't want anyone to know what kind of fetish porn you were searching for?

I was thinking of the search window anyway, not the website window, my bad.

I don't know the answer, but I was on craigslist the other day and the search box was auto populating with my youporn searches. I can relate, lol!
