I am using ctrl+l on chrome, so 2 keystrokes to get to a search 73,000 key presses (asides from search terms + enter) if I am doing 10 searches a day for 10 years.
If you are using the mouse to get to the location bar that's an insane time delay, but if you are using ctrl+l then typing "www.google.com" you are at something like 584,000 over the same 10 per day for 10 years period. That's an entire novel of "www.google.comwww.google.comwww.google.comwww.google.comwww.google.com", plus the time spent typing and the time for the extra unneeded page load. Think hard about changing to ctrl+k on firefox or ctrl+l on chrome (or ctrl+l plus "g" hotword on firefox if you got rid of the searchbar).
