Trying to type Whatsapp into URL bar keeps sending me to whatichopped.com instead (sopuli.xyz)

I cannot remove my habit of writing what and pressing enter, expecting to autocomplete to https://web.whatsapp.com/, because it is sending me to http://whatichopped.com/ instead.

What can I do?

You can probably remove whatichopped from your history

Seems like an improvement.

It is. But you know, human communication is important.

That's why you're here.

  1. Type what.
  2. Use the arrow keys to highlight the entry that you want to forget.
  3. Press Shift+Delete

Also works with autocomplete menus for form fields.

-Click the menu button to open the menu panel. Click History and then click the Manage history bar at the bottom to open the Library window.
-In the top right corner, type the name of the website you wish to forget in the Search History field
-press the site you wish to forget in the resulting list and select Forget About This Site.

Type web instead, that'll probably work

If I had the s and do whats it does send me to Whatsapp. Using web does work too based on my history. Already unfortunately removed the glorious site that was whatichopped.
