Sometimes you just can’t guess the domain name of a company you know. Also, it doesn’t help that most companies website are fucking nightmare to navigate so having the relevant page on the first click is nice too
using a searchengine helps avoid domain squatting phishing. this is why I like domain bar as a search engine. if it’s new I search it, if it’s a place I’ve been to before it autocompletes the url.
Yeah but then I would have to navigate logitech’s stupid website to find the download button… and then navigate it again, because turns out the software for pairing standard receivers is completely separate from the software for pairing unifying receivers… Sigh… But hey, at least it doesn’t force you to make an account!

I have to constantly remind myself that the average user today cannot tell the difference between a search engine and a web browser.
And we have the URL bar pulling double duty as a search engine entry form to thank for that.
I strongly fought for the Omnibar in the mid 2000’s as a pro-user feature and I regret everything. I was wrong.
