ive been browsing the internet and cant find an up to date answer for my problem, so hopefully someone here can help me.

i use Pandora a lot for listening to music, and i also happen to browse Pornhub occasionally for personal entertainment. its seems to be the case that i have entered Pornhub.com into my browser more than i have Pandora.com, so now whenever i want to use Pandora i hit P and then return, and feel horrified when i am presented a page full of "sweaty and ready Russian housewives." so my question: is there a way to turn off auto complete, or remove a specific website from my history? i dont want to delete my entire history because then i would loose all of my autofill passwords and bookmarks.

Little wrench top right of the browser, or 'ctrl h' to get to history. From there, type in the name of the website and clear it out.

-Ctrl + Shift + Delete

- Choose "from the beginning of time"

-Check "Clear browsing history, Clear download history, and Empty the Cache." Un-check everything else. You won't lose any passwords or whatever else you needed.

If you don't want to delete all your history, I'm sure you could go to a list of your history and pick out what you don't need, and I know IE has a feature where you can prevent a site from doing auto-complete by clicking the 'x' when the site pops up in the address bar.

Meh. I used to think the same, but I recently tried the newer version and I didn't think it was all that bad--especially not bad enough to quote and laugh about. The difference in speed between IE and other major browsers is minimal to me, so it's not that big of a deal. Overall, chrome is obviously better with its easy-accessibility and extensive amount of features offered, but IE isn't bad.

Note that I'm only mentioning speed since that seems to be the majority of users' main problem.
