        I accidentally used chrome the other day.

        Tried to go to Gmail with “gm” enter.

        No autocomplete, just a Google search.

        Almost went to the General Motors website.

        It’s a level of hell to watch other people continue to type out the full URL while the auto complete is already there, until they make that one typo towards the end and hit enter before you had a chance to tell them.

        Truth, but it’s three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!

            I fucking hate the death of keyboard shortcuts and not being able to reliably tab through fields. Particularly in UIs designed for data entry.

            All our patient care reporting software has gone to a touch-screen centric UI … when half the fields still require typing information in.

          Unless you’re like me with folders, sub folders, and sub sub folders of bookmarks. Sometimes it’s easier to just search. It would be great if I can do a search within my bookmarks!

            Firefox can search your bookmarks. I’d be surprised if another browser couldn’t, but it probably isn’t as easy as just using the address bar

              I was only joking but you’re right, this is already a thing, for Chrome too. TIL.

              For any Chrome users here, type @bookmarks before your search in the address bar.
