When typing the url of a site in do you type out the www? Do you prefer sites that show the www in the url?
www or not when typing urls?
- Thread starter CrazyLazy
- Start date
type in site name, then control + enter. Or shift + enter. Or control + shift + enter, depending on the extension.
Some sites I visit requires the www in it or it won't work. Like: http://www.phys.ufl.edu/ Even though it's a subdomain of the ufl site, whereas some sites with subdomains don't require the www
site.com IS NOT A URL. It is a domain.
www.site.com IS A URL.
Absolutely prefer sites that show www.site.com because they are adhering to internet standards. If they don't, they're not.

I type the www out of habit more than anything and not worth my effort or not important enough for me to break that habit.

I was wondering this as well.
In Firefox I just Alt+D to highlight the URL, then type the new one in and press enter.

ctrl+enter automatically puts the "www" before and the ".com" after what you type in the address bar. I've tried it on 3 different browsers (IE, firefox, opera) and all have the same behavior.
Try it out. Type "google" in the address bar, then press ctrl+enter. The www and .com are filled in, and it goes to that address.

WTF? How do you know that?
I type pretty quickly as well and I'm just used to it. I might save, I dunno, .5-1s at the absolute most if I don't type the www, I'm not too concerned with it.

Can you watch the video I posted and tell me if you notice a difference? Although most of the sites I go to are already in history, so for the first couple I just type the first few letters in and ctrl+enter, the last two I just do ctrl shift enter for the .org and shift + enter for net, although those aren't very long domains.

A difference? No, not really. I didn't think we were talking about using auto-complete or a history, I do that all the time. I just thought we were talking typing out an address with or without 4 extra characters.
