Search suggestions have gotten extremely bad

Moatman — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 05:26:34 GMT

Over the past 2-6 months (don't know exactly when it started or when I first noticed), search suggestions have become uselessly bad. As in, about 20 minutes ago, I typed the word "tahini" into my search bar and got zero history results, even though I have exactly four websites in my history that have the word "tahini" *anywhere*, and I have gone to all four today.

And that's just on desktop. History suggestions on iOS Firefox are 100% nonexistent. It's been only bookmarks and google autocomplete suggestions for months.

They are not just Bad, they're a Scammers heaven!

Example:

You have visited https://www.mbs.de (a german banking website) 1000 times and clicked on a scammer link going to https://mbs.imahacker.io ONCE.

Everytime you type "mbs" into the searchbar, it will recommend https://mbs.imahacker.io EVERYTIME form then on!

I guess, it's because the link starts with these letters, but that is the absolute worst criteria ever!
