How many of you actually go to the Google homepage to search? With Chrome/Chromium, just type on the address bar; for Firefox have shortcut prefixes. (like "g hacker news" searches for "hacker news".)
- sahaj 16y agoi think this is exactly why the change to google.com was made. it only appeals to the people who have set their homepage to google.com.
- ericd 16y agoAh interesting theory - it's a sort of product segmentation at work. I could buy that.
- mightybyte 16y agoI use it almost exclusively. I've never liked using the address bar or search bar. It just feels wrong for some reason.
- megamark16 16y agoFor me it's habit. I click on the address bar, I type "go" and chrome fills in the rest, than I hit enter and do my stuff. It's muscle memory. I set Duck Duck Go as my primary browser search engine a long time ago but still habitually type "go" and use google. This change should be all I need to remember to type "du" instead of "go".
