They're not just lazy; many people don't _understand_ what URLs are. They just navigate the web by googling for site names or whatever content they want.

- samstave 11y agoAnd some are stuck in this way... I have attempted to train/show/explain how the URL bar is also the same as the search field on google.com.... even once they understood, the response was often - "Well, I don't care - this is how I do it and this is how I like to do it" /pulls out hair

- dlsx 11y agoI still type www dot... Call me old school I guess, but I just appreciate proper URL formatting. It took me a while to adjust to removing http:// http:// from the modern browser.
