That's why you use the search bar for search :)

@Dacexi I had that issue long time ago, not there anymore. You can localhost and it will take you to 127.0.0.1

Sorta feels like ur switching sides lately.

Microsoft, Google, Chrome are usually what we really about.

@billgates I don't like biased opinions. I like to be on the other side of the debate and learn new things.

@tahnik so devil's advocate? I just use whatever works for wheat I want and give me enough control...

@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 ;)

In 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.

Starting 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.
