I do this. It's 100% beacuse I am lazy and didn't want to spend a large amount of energy hitting the second key.

This is the place to be. I’m hoping some communities jump over. I’ve seen a few use discord that is not a good replacement at lol.

I'm definitely one of these. I come from the era when misspelling a major websites name meant you landed on a virus infested page that could do all sorts of fun things to your computer.

I do this when I don’t remember if it’s .com .net or whatever

Kelsenellenelvial ,

Same, also if there’s any question if the URL might be something different than the company name, like containing a short form of a word, initialized, or a localization.

Though I think that’s different than what the posted graph states. I might sometimes get mixed up looking for a local company and not knowing if it’s .com or .ca. I’m pretty confident in getting the right URL for common sites like Facebook and Lemmy.

ProfoundNinja , to mildlyinteresting in People really do use Google Search to visit well-known websites instead of typing their names into the address bar

I use some sort of browse by name function. I never complete a url, I just type the name and hit enter. It bypasses the search results page and goes to the site direct. So I’m pretty sure I’m contributing to the data but I’m definitely not using it like most.

Check how many people googles google

Chariotwheel ,

I do that when internet is kinda funky and I want to check Google, because that's my go to site to see if shit still works. Whatever happens I kinda trust Google the most to be up. So I just search for google in my phone browser which defaults to google.

Wallace! Amazon.ca, what's the website for that?

Venator ,

I do that when I want to get to Google lens, it's the easiest way since lens.google.com takes you to a bullshit marketing page 🤷

    In college late 90s I knew one person who would navigate to Yahoo and search for Google.

    You just unlocked a memory for me!

    In the early 2000s I knew someone at my university who would type "google image search" into Google.
