> When was the last time you saw someone actually using the address bar in a web browser instead of Googling? I used to laugh when people Googled a websites name instead of entering it manually. But these days, I find myself often either Googling (or DuckDuckGoing usually, but as a verb that just doesn't have the same ring to it)for the name, or relying on autocomplete from my bookmarks or history. I feel website names have become less predictable mainly because of the explosion of possible top level domains: even if I know the exact name of a website, I can't reliably remember which TLD to use. Plus I'm more and more worried of accidentally using the wrong URL (through a misspelling or a wrong TLD or whatever) for fear of ending up on some scam site instead of the real thing.
