It's weird. I haven't been at mac2sell.net since I sold my old iMac 2 years ago.

But whenever I type m, this address shows up.

On the other hand, macrumors falls out of the proposal database after only 2 weeks.

It's almost as if some sites install an indestructible cookie, that keeps Safari remembering.

The mac2sell.net address... I haven't even used it on this iMac. Must have migrated somehow from my old computer.

Anybody has a take on this?

Alphabetical? The number 2 comes before any letters, so maybe that's why it's always at the top of the list.

I'm now sure it IS a bookmark.

WAS a bookmark.

So it's good to bookmark addresses you want Safari to auto-complete.
