Google Docs – Disable @Email Suggestions in Comments

google docs

I would like to know how I can disable the email suggestions in Google Docs comments.

Whenever you write a comment on a Google Doc and start typing with @ it will suggest, and sometimes auto-complete, email addresses. This happens no matter if the @ is standalone or in the middle of some comment text. Example of what is meant:

Example of @address

I'm not sure where these addresses come from, but they are useless to me and annoying when auto-completing while typing. I could not find such a setting in docs preferences, nor when searching for it.

I would be fine to install a Firefox extension if needed to get rid of them.
