Can I tell Chrome not to redirect mistyped URLs?
- by Nathan Long
If I mistype a URL, Chrome sometimes redirects me to a search. For instance, typing "example_url_i_sometimes_mistype.conm" into the location bar gets me:
Your search - example_url_i_sometimes_mistype.conm - did not match any
documents.
Not only is this annoying, but if the mistyped URL was one on private DNS, I've now just told Google that the domain exists. (A small concern, but bad in principle.)
Can I configure Chrome to just show an error and not blab to Google Search about it?
