I remember vividly watching someone type in the address bar of their browser “google”, and hit enter. It took them to the google results page from which they pressed on the first result, google.com, and only then did they proceed to type in their search term.
Oh man, I used to work as essentially help desk for old people where they were subscribers to unlimited remote support and we would screen share. I once watched someone, whose browser homepage was hijacked by Yahoo, type Google into Yahoo, click the first result (to Google), then they typed Gmail into the Google search, clicked the link, and finally got to Gmail to login.
Still not as bad as the lady who insisted on hacking Farmville using scripts and Firefox extensions that would have to call us every few weeks to fix everything due to an update. We essentially had to update Firefox and extensions and scripts and reload it all very often. She got passed around a lot.
Then there was the guy who we helped low key pirate media, he was fun. Super nice guy.
Someone out there has written a browser plugin where, if you search for Google, it just gives back a page that says “No. Just type in the search query in that bar up top.”
Was it an older person? I remember when a big selling point of chrome was you could search Google from the address bar rather than going to Google.com. On a related note, have you seen my walker?

Technically, less typing! Well fix your default search is what I tell em and I charge 37500 dollars! That’s a lie but I wouldn’t lie to the internet
“I lied. But actually I would never lie. That’s the fake news media that says I lie. I knew they would because they’re terrible people.”
