Ungoogled-chromium: Question: disable automatic creation of search engines

[MrChocolatine]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Would it be possible to disable the automatic creation of "Other search engines" when we navigate?

We can see a list of them in the page chrome://settings/searchEngines (screenshot attached below).

From time to time, I always have to go there to empty this list because I don't want my browser to do this kind of things automatically. Especially when most of the time (maybe always actually?), and as you can see on my screenshot, their keyword is their hostname, who would want to type all of that to make a search.

Describe the solution you'd like

No custom search engine should be added upon navigation.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't have any alternative solutions. Maybe would it be possible to add a switch to disable this?

Additional context

Same as for Chrome/Chromium:
Open chrome://flags/#disable-search-engine-collection in a browser tab and set it to __Disabled__ – relaunch the browser

__Disable search engine collection__
Prevents search engines from being added automatically. – Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android

Oh thank you, was it already mentioned somewhere? (I tend to forget to check the browsers flags)

But still, we can do that manually okay, I am glad, but would it be possible to disable this feature natively for ungoogled-chromium?

@MrChocolatine Yes it's documented in https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/docs/flags.md (referenced here: https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium#key-features). The flag's default is supposed to align with Chrome/Chromium's default behavior.

@kramred It's actually a flag I added in 373c31ae4d5f6b26c89783d98820207a25fdd7b8.

Thank you very much @Eloston , I didn't dig enough into your repository, my bad.
