Comment (by pulkomandy):
I personally dislike that feature. Often I type "github.com" and end up on
"gist.github.com", for example, because the browser isn't very good at
matching URLs with what I type.
Knowing that it's possible to type part of an URL, then use the down key
to select the first match in the current list, and that still allows
typing an URL you really mean, without the autocomplete messing with it,
I'd prefer things to stay as they are.
Should auto-complete be made the default, is there a way to undo it and
get to the URL I typed, even if it happens to be a substring of another
URL? If there is, I think the discoverability of it is not as good as what
we currently have (press down to select the next item in the list is
fairly obvious).
