Why are browsers so stupid?
Why can't my browser handle www.example..com ? Is it pedagogical, teaching me to type correctly?

- slater 16y agoIt's not your browser's main focus to fix spelling mistakes. Even then, they've come a long way. I remember Netscape 4 not being able to handle "news.bbc.co.uk" due to lack of "www." in there. You had to manually add "http:// http:// in front of it.

My browser searches on an Internet search engine whatever I enter in the address field that is not a valid host name. I think that is a pretty good way of handling it. What does your browser do?"
