"switch to tab" under search suggestions in search bar is a terrible idea, please give an option to remove it.

In my search suggestions in the search bar, when I click "youtube.com" for this example, it now says "switch to tab" which automatically switches to an open youtube tab, rather than opening a new tab.

There is no way to turn this 'feature' off. It doesn't let me pick which youtube tab it switches to, just the first one regardless of how many instances of a website there are open.

Please remove this feature, or give us a way to turn it off.

You can remove Open tabs from showing as a suggestion.

The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, top sites, and search suggestions. You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar.

    Address Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs
    Top sites
    Shortcuts
    Search Suggestions
