        "content": "Here\u2019s how you can turn off (or reduce) auto-suggestions in Brave\u2019s address bar (omnibox). The exact steps can vary a bit depending on your OS (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS) and version of Brave. If something doesn\u2019t match what you see, try searching within Settings for \u201cautocomplete\u201d or \u201csuggestions\u201d.\n\n---\n\n## On Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux)\n\n1. Open Brave.  \n2. Go to `Settings`: click the three-dot menu (or hamburger menu) \u2192 **Settings**.  \n3. In the menu/sidebar, select **Appearance**.  \n4. Find the toggle called **\u201cShow autocomplete suggestions in address bar\u201d** and switch it **off**. ([support.brave.app](https://support.brave.app/hc/hr/articles/38305898674957-How-do-I-hide-or-disable-features-in-Brave?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Also check under **Settings \u2192 Search engine** (or **Settings \u21a6 Search**) for a setting like **\u201cShow search suggestions in address bar\u201d**, and disable that if present. ([browserfy.net](https://browserfy.net/index.php/2025/05/31/how-to-disable-auto-suggestions-in-braves-address-bar/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- If there\u2019s an option called **\u201cAutocomplete searches and URLs\u201d**, turning it off will stop wild guesses as you type. ([browserfy.net](https://browserfy.net/index.php/2025/05/31/how-to-disable-auto-suggestions-in-braves-address-bar/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Sometimes Brave still shows suggestions due to cached history/bookmarks etc. Clearing browsing data (especially history and autocomplete/form data) helps ensure suggestions really go away. ([browserfy.net](https://browserfy.net/index.php/2025/05/31/how-to-disable-auto-suggestions-in-braves-address-bar/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## On Android\n\n1. Open Brave.  \n2. Tap the three-dot menu \u2192 **Settings**.  \n3. Go to **Brave Shields & privacy** (or possibly **Privacy** / **Search**) section.  \n4. Find **\u201cShow autocomplete in address bar\u201d** or **\u201cAutocomplete searches and URLs\u201d** toggle and disable it. ([support.brave.app](https://support.brave.app/hc/hr/articles/38305898674957-How-do-I-hide-or-disable-features-in-Brave?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## On iOS\n\n1. Open Brave on your iPhone or iPad.  \n2. Tap the gear icon or menu \u2192 **Settings**.  \n3. Go to **Search Engines** or **Privacy & Security \u2192 Address Bar**.  \n4. Look for **\u201cShow Search Suggestions\u201d** or **\u201cAutocomplete searches and URLs\u201d** and turn it off. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-disable-search-suggestions-on-every-major-browser/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## What If Some Suggestions Still Appear?\n\n- Disabling autocomplete *and* suggestions settings doesn't always suppress all suggestions because Brave may still show bookmarks/history. To reduce that, switch off the history/bookmark suggestions wherever possible. ([community.brave.com](https://community.brave.com/t/deleting-auto-populating-web-page/455664?utm_source=openai))  \n- Clear your current browsing data: history, form/autofill data, cached pages. This can help remove existing storages of suggestions. ([browserfy.net](https://browserfy.net/index.php/2025/05/31/how-to-disable-auto-suggestions-in-braves-address-bar/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which device you\u2019re using (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS) and which version of Brave (you can find that under **Brave \u2192 About Brave**), I can give you step-by-step instructions specific to your setup."

If you tell me which operating system you're using (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS), I can give you device-specific steps\u2014these below cover most cases:\n\n---\n\n## How to Disable or Hide Brave Leo\n\n### 1. Through Brave Settings\n\n- Open Brave \u2192 Go to **Settings \u2192 Leo**. You should have options to:\n  - Clear Leo data (removes local conversations and resets your opt-in)  \n  - Toggle off features like \u201cShow Leo icon in the sidebar\u201d or \u201cShow in context menu on websites\u201d. ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/27331617852045-How-do-I-disable-Brave-Leo?utm_source=openai))\n  - Disable \u201cStore my conversation history\u201d so Leo won\u2019t keep local records of your chats. ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/32663367857549-How-do-I-use-Chat-History-in-Brave-Leo?utm_source=openai))\n\n### 2. In Appearance Settings\n\n- In Brave Settings, go to **Appearance**. There are toggles here to disable:\n  - Leo\u2019s autocomplete suggestions in the address bar (so \u201cAsk Leo\u201d won't show up while you type).  \n  - The Leo icon(s) in toolbar or sidebar. ([support.brave.app](https://support.brave.app/hc/nl/articles/38305898674957-How-do-I-hide-or-disable-features-in-Brave?utm_source=openai))\n\n### 3. Using Brave Flags\n\n- Type `brave://flags` in the address bar \u2192 search for **\u201cBrave AI Chat\u201d** flag \u2192 set it to **Disabled**. This helps remove various UI elements related to Leo, like \u201cAsk Leo\u201d options in the address bar. ([community.brave.app](https://community.brave.app/t/how-do-i-kill-leo-not-resolved/647583?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## What Disabling Does\u2014and Doesn\u2019t\n\n- Disabling Leo doesn't *completely* remove its underlying code, but it does turn off its appearance and features so that it doesn\u2019t show up in obvious places. ([community.brave.app](https://community.brave.app/t/how-do-i-kill-leo-not-resolved/647583?utm_source=openai))\n- If you clear Leo data, it removes all stored conversations and resets your opt\u2010in status. ([support.brave.com](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/27331617852045-How-do-I-disable-Brave-Leo?utm_source=openai))\n- The settings above are local to your browser/device. Disabling Leo doesn't affect the browser\u2019s ability to perform regular web searches (unless you manually disable Brave Search\u2019s AI features separately). ([community.brave.app](https://community.brave.app/t/can-i-or-cant-i-permanently-remove-ai-from-brave-if-i-cant-im-leaving/638478/27?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which device you\u2019re on, I can walk you through exactly how it looks for your setup."
