Dacexi119168y@tahnik I always had the problem that chrome didn't understand some domains like localhost so I hat typ typer https://localhost or else it would search it. -
tahnik385668y@Dacexi I had that issue long time ago, not there anymore. You can localhost and it will take you to 127.0.0.1 -
donuts232478ySorta feels like ur switching sides lately.
Microsoft, Google, Chrome are usually what we really about. -
tahnik385668y@billgates I don't like biased opinions. I like to be on the other side of the debate and learn new things. -
donuts232478y@tahnik so devil's advocate? I just use whatever works for wheat I want and give me enough control... -
donuts232478y@ArchLinux no, Chrome. I switched over when FF became bloatware and well Chrome isn't bloated enough to get me to give it another try...
Chrome: Primary
Firefox: Backup
IE: backup's backup
Edge: what's that? -
It's actually a surprisingly hard problem to figure out whether a given string is a valid URL, especially with all the new top level domains floating around.
Same applies for email addresses ;) -
sonrisa14308yIn Chrome, if you end your search with a slash (like "localhost/"), it will automatically be recognized as an URL, so you don't have to type http:// always. -
tmux20078yStarting anything in the address bar with ? uses your default search engine to find results. This eliminates the need for a separate search bar, and helps making clear to the browser whether you intend to search or visit.
