Chrome – Elevate the weight of browsing history in Google Chrome’s autocomplete

autocompletegoogle-chrome

Google Chrome has the feature of auto-completing web addresses while you type them in the address bar.

Alas, it gives absurdly more weight to Google's own auto-suggest v.s. my own browsing history, which seems a bit foolish – if I regularly (i.e. twice a week) check a certain website with the keywords "foo bar ponies" in its url, it is reasonable to expect that I will want to visit that site again and not other sites.

While a bit subjective, to the very least I would expect such URLs to be in the list Chrome suggests, even if not at the top.

Is there some plugin/secret option that alters the default behavior?

You can completely disable Google's auto-complete, leaving only your own by going to Options and unchecking "Use a suggestion service to help complete searches and URLs typed in the address bar".
