minus-squareSomeoneElse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up93·2 年前Sometimes chrome doesn’t autocomplete the url I’ve started typing to it takes me to search results, not the website.
minus-squareRhynoplaz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·edit-22 年前Yup, this is me. Its faster to type “fa”, press enter, and click the Google link to Facebook than type everything.com. Google would rather it look like THEY took you there, so most actions are going to give results instead of the actual site.
