This is not a “list of allowed websites”.

I don't think it makes a difference, if anything, it's worse that it's in their autocomplete list.
Yes, that does make a difference and no, it’s not.

An autocomplete list is most likely generated based on statistics and contains sites that are being _used_, and an allow list is moderated and contains sites that are _condoned_.
