Most browsers I run into, you can search from the address bar. You can also disable or point to a different search engine, if you want. So you could skip going to the site. That aside…most browsers would accept google.com and not need the full https://www
I say most anecdotally as I haven’t tested them all.
I know that’s the point, which is why I said it. The person I replied to asked if they were missing something, so I was attempting to educate them on said point. Then they edited their post to add the /s after the fact.
You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.
Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.
Or people that type http://www.Google.com into the address bar?
I had a coworker in the early 00s that would repeatedly fail to search for something because she would type “www.goggles.com” into the address bar.
Am I missing something? Lol /s

It’s just unnecessary extra inefficient steps, usually by people not particularly tech-proficient. Not a moral judgement, just an observation!
