Funny, if true (doing some research...) I'll add this to the warchest for that classic interview question about what happens when you type a url into your brows

  Definitely was true. Browsersers (at least FF) also used to add .com at the end. I think these days they all just send you to their ad-laden funding source instead if there is no TLD.(*) https://www.thewindowsclub.com/browser-automatically-adds-www-to-url https://www.thewindowsclub.com/browser-automatically-adds-ww... (*) Apparently at least firefox still does the domain fixup instead of search if you type the http:// http:// or https:// https:// prefix so e.g. http://example/ http://example/ will have you end up on http://www.example.com/ http://www.example.com/
