Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.139 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Make sure the history has plenty of items. 2. Start typing in a URL from the history. Notice that what you typed has been changed to the URL. You have to backspace to get rid of it. What is the expected behavior? Instead of replacing what the user types, add option to down arrow for autocomplete suggestions. What went wrong? N/A Did this work before? No Chrome version: 66.0.3359.139 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: When typing addresses in the Omnibox, my screen reader is super chatty because it tells me when text is replaced with each letter I type. I would still like the autocomplete suggestions, but would prefer to press down arrow to get to them instead of having my text replaced. Could this be added as an option?

The issue seems to be a feature request as per comment #0. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further inputs from dev team. Thanks...!!

Having a suggestion appear within the address bar itself is a core design principle of Chrome, one that we're not going to change. However, we can probably change how the address bar interacts with screenreaders to make the behavior more natural. Could you please let me know which one you use?
