of my browser? I may not be using exactly the correct terminology here. This is embarassing, but I guess I have been visiting youporn too much, so in addition to the washingtonpost.com, nytimes.com, DCUM, wikipedia, etc., now it display youporn.com too! I know how to erase my browsing history, but how do I get that off my drop down window?
TIA! |

| Don't know what browser you are using, but it sounds like you may just have to clear your browsing history. Usually if you go to Tools > Options you can control this. Hope it helps. |

| PP here--just realized you said you know how to clear your history. I feel like doing this has erased the drop-down stuff in the past, so it might work. in IE, I did Tools > Internet Options > General (tab) and then hit the Clear History button. While you are there you could also delete your cookies. |

i've wondered that too. in the future you might want to turn on "private browsing" under tools usually. it's not called porn mode for nothing

OP here. Thanks all. I just cleared ALL of my history, not just today, and it worked. I will use private browsing from now on. Don't want that to happen again...

| Actually, if you display the browser dropdown menu and then just toggle down to the URL you want to delete, there should be an "X" on the right-hand side of the dropdown menu for each URL listed. If you run you mouse over the X and left click, it will delete it. It will still appear in your History though. |

| Maybe if you didn't watch so much porn and/or if you weren't trying to hide your excessive porn viewing, you wouldn't have this problem.. just saying.. |
