I once tried to watch a video sped up in Safari, and the sound was awful. An acquaintance tried to report the bug to Apple years ago, and it went into a black hole. Compare to the public bug trackers for Firefox and Chromium, and it's easy to understand why Safari remains nearly useless.
WebKit has a public bug tracker.

#302This has been driving me mad for the better part of a year: the autocomplete behavior in Safari is totally broken. Last year it started picking words from your query and going through your history and using that to autocomplete so you'd always go to some random thing from your history that's barely relevant even for the most generic search terms (if I type "ptrace" I want to go to a web search, not some random Stack…

> I searched "sketch" the other day and it took me to "sketchers.com" I got curious and tried the same, with the same results. And I have never before bought shoes online, ever. But it's even worse than you said: the website is actually "skechers.com", with no t. So, when you type "sketch", Safari is guessing that you're misspelling the name of a shoe retailer.

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 behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus/u…
I only use Safari and I’ve actually been on realtor.com a ton the past few days. I just punched in realty.com and it directed me to realtor.com. If I do http://realty.com it takes me to the correct site.

Done: FB7793463. It sounds like you work at Apple? The screen recording is attached to the report.

I don’t have a developer’s account, but I’m new to iPhone in the last 4 months and my phone also goes from realty.com to realtor.com. Not sure if a lack of history is for some reason causing it, or the presence of history is preventing it

I can get the Safari team to look at this, but I can't reproduce either behavior myself. Any other examples of bogus/unexpected autocomplete also welcome.
I looked at the FB# cited in the parent, but it doesn't have a specific example or a sysdiagnose. Since may of these things only reproduce for some users, we need all the data we can get to resolve these issues.
