Why do sites that I visit keep being added to shortcuts? I have not bookmarked them, and there is no option in settings to prevent this from happening. Even after I clear my private data, browsing history and website data the unwanted shortcuts are still there and I am forced to remove them individually.

Please advise.

Hi jackiesblues,

Shortcut added websites that you frequently visit. If you don't want them to be there, you can hold on the shortcut and choose remove.

Hope that helps!
