I’m in full agreement here. I’m always terribly annoyed when I’m hit by this “feature”. It conflicts with another one of Chrome’s features that I use a lot, which is if I’ve visited `discourse.org/t/some-thread-about-cats` I could just type `discourse.org cats` in the omnibox and it’ll usually suggest the URL I was looking for.
