Filed a report here: FB7796744 This has driven me absolutely nuts as well...occurs when trying to visit wbay.com (instead sends me to ebay.com)
Wow, I just tried wbay.com and it sent me to eBay.com, I find this very disturbing.
What gives Apple?
I've run into a similar problem on the Mac version of Safari for a while now: I'll paste in a full ( http:// or https:// ) URL and hit Enter, but instead of loading the requested URL it just reloads the current page. I sometimes have to paste it a couple times before it will actually load the URL I want. Anyone else encountered this or am I just going crazy?
It seems like it has something to do with the cadence of when I press the return key while it's loading suggestions into the autocomplete dropdown. It's almost as if pressing return is selecting an item that isn't in the dropdown list yet. If I paste a URL and wait a second or two I never have that problem. It's when I'm moving quickly that I frequently run into it.
If I type a word, like "resolv" into the omnibar, it gives me the option to "search with google". Great. But if I type in "resolv.conf", it by default wants to "visit" (thinking .conf. is a tld)... but it doesn't even show me the option to "search with google" in the dropdown! I've literally had to resort to typing "google resolv.conf" which is a super gross way of going about it.
I don't know if combining search and URLs in one box was ever a good idea. I feel I preferred the dual-box layout, where you had a URL bar on the left and a search bar on the right.

Google Meet works fine, as does Jitsi Meet. We're working with popular WebRTC providers one at a time. Unfortunately, the state of WebRTC interop is pretty bad across the board, so providers use website lockouts and qualify one browser at a time. Sorry about those three bugs. They do sound like bugs and will be looked into.
Huh, I never got anything that does audio/video calling to work on Safari. Always only provides a test video and audio. Permissions are all granted

At least Firefox still lets you put back a dedicated search box
On my Firefox 79, if I pop open a new tab, 1) the cursor is refocused from the search box to the URL bar and 2) the URL bar is a search box (even if search-in-url-box is successfully disabled in not-new tabs). Even better, the option to set new tab to a webpage is gone. The only choices are the Firefox default page or a blank webpage. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. I'd just try one of the dozen of known tweaks…
FWIW, and as a workaround and not any sort of defense of FF breaking itself: You could, from an existing page, type what you want in the search box, then middle-click (or ctrl+click) the search button, which opens the result in a new tab. Again, you shouldn't have to do this, but it seems like it'd patch your workflow.

I'm curious, did yours also have the extra m (realty.comm)? Both the 2nd and 3rd phone the video shows has the extra m, which makes me think it's an actual bug in the autocomplete, where it has completed to "realtor.com" (notice realtor has one more letter than realty), but you actually don't see it (except the last letter, the extra m at the end). So when you press enter, it goes to realtor. If you do get the extra…
Nope, never saw any extra m. Sounds like something in your personal autocomplete "learned dictionary". I don't know why, but 5 years ago the autocorrect on iOS never bothered me much, but over the past 1-2 years it's gotten much more "wrong". It's been driving me nuts.

The difference is how it's visualized. On Chrome, it shows you the complete path. If I type "gi" in omnibox, I can visually see "github.com/EhsanKia" and then I press enter. In the video shown above, you visually SEE "realty.comm" (there's an extra m there which I found very strange, which makes me think this is a bug), but when the person pressed enter, it goes to realtor.com. I expect pressing enter to run the quer…
> SEE "realty.comm" I don't see 2 ms, at least not in the first example in the video.

Posting reply here for more visibility. Folks who can reproduce the "sketch" --> "sketchers.com" behavior or the "realty.com" --> "realtor.com" behavior, would any of you be willing to file the issue via Feedback Assistant (only needs a free developer.apple.com account) with a sysdiagnose and a screen recording? Then give me the FB number. I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavi…

Your reply sounds irrelevant when multiple people on this thread have been able to replicate. It only happens on Safari and if you turn off Safari suggestions it stops. People have also been able to replicate it on macOS. So it’s obvious it’s coming from Safari suggestions. Feel free to test for yourself.
Multiple people with Safari suggestions on can not replicate it, across multiple versions of iOS. The fun things about confirmation biases is that if you believe it's true you're going to focus only on those who confirm your bias, yet a single example where it doesn't operate that way should rightly put the entire claim in question. Specifically the claim that Safari/iOS is built to do this, or ridiculous claims that…

At my work, clearing browser history is a red flag for audit. Their idea on the policy is anything you do on your work machine is work-related and the company has the right to see that history. If you want privacy, use your own device. And while that’s not my policy, I’ve worked in security long enough to know... anything you do on your work computers is already being watched by the security team. Web proxies and log…
> Their idea on the policy is anything you do on your work machine is work-related and the company has the right to see that history. If you want privacy, use your own device. These lines are often blurred (practically–not legally) with BYOD and people doing things like using their personal devices on company Wi-Fi networks.
I think it's draconian, but plenty of people signed up for the program. I prefer to keep my home and work gear isolated from one another. I don't even have them on the same ISP.
