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.
Comment on Now that search engines suck, people will start to bookmark again.

“l” press enter for lemmy.world
Auto completing urls are so fast.

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!

Idk dude, I feel like there is more wrist movement involved in mouse control than typing.

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

I still find myself tabbing while signing in but it almost never works.

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.

Even better, save specific search engines with shortcut codes: type ‘w’ + <Space>, start typing to search on Wikipedia.

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.
