Google is the first suggestion in address bar, even though it is not set as my search engine

I set my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Still, when I open a new tab and click on the address bar (without typing anything), "Search with google" is the first suggestion, followed by recent history.

I don't want Google there, it is not my default search engine, and I even removed it from my "Search shortcuts". I would expect either "Search with DuckDuckGo", since I explicitly set that as my search engine, or better yet, no search engine at all (since the address bar itself already functions as my access to search).

You may have to change the order of search engines in Settings > Search. You can remove G completely if you wish.
