3 ways to remove suggestions on Chrome

When you type a query or URL into Chrome's address bar, Google recommends websites and search terms based on what you've typed. These suggestions are not always relevant and sometimes even embarrassing. Fortunately, it's easy to turn off search suggestions on your Android, iPhone, iPad, or computer. If it is not possible to delete an individual suggestion in the Chrome mobile app, you can easily do it with Chrome on your computer. This change will be effective on your phone or tablet if you use browser sync.
