On the rare occasions when I’m manually typing out a url, that’s what I do also, just in case I ever mistype it. It’s better than being directed to the wrong site.
Normally I don’t even need a url though, I’ll just google “chase bank” or wherever it is I’m trying to go.
- Torwald 5y agoYes, this or the site seems to be obscure and the URL is dated and who knoews wether they have changed the scheme without implementing redirects or something like that.

I know Google is generally supposed to be above maliciously modifying search results, but people definitely aren't above maliciously poisoning Google search results. I definitely wouldn't want to get to my bank's website by any source other than my bank telling me where it is. (I do rely on my history and/or my bookmarks to remember that once the bank tells me, but hopefully those are proof against external malice, or else I've got bigger problems.)
