What's In Your Browser ? 🎉🎶🐱👤🎫🎟

Here’s the deal. Most browsers will auto-suggest a website when you start typing a URL (website)

So, go through A - Z and write down where your browser thinks you want to go. I found a few letters didn’t have any suggestion, so I just said NULL for them.

I like this idea, but I am only including ones which surprise me. leaving off g for gmail, and a for amazon, for example.

fair enough. Haven’t been on PlayCatan for a very long time. I should try and get back into Catan, but TTR has been my gateway game I’ve been using lately.

Anyone for whom this isn’t the answer for ‘b’ needs to report for reeducation.

it’s a button - I don’t usually type B into the URL bar unless I’m checking the news.

I’d make a suggestion, but the URL has changed.

I’m clearing off the obvious ones but so many were links to season 2 of Enterprise on Amazon. Embarrassing.

The one for Z I don’t recognize but it’s a really cool typing game. :smiley:

(90% of my browsing is done in Incognito mode, making for a lot of holes in this list. Mostly filled with the second season of Enterprise. :astonished:)

P.S. Zompist has all kinds of interesting things, but one of my favorites is the Zompist phrasebook - extremely useful to people who are fluent speakers or readers of one or more European languages, not so much recommended to those who aren’t. Some examples may clarify:

  • I wish to complain.
    Je veux porter plainte.
    Protesto.
    Ich will mich beschweren.

  • It’s better in the States.
    C’est mieux aux Etats-Unis.
    Es mejor en los Estados Unidos.
    In den Staaten ist es besser.

…

  • I understand your language perfectly.
    Je parle français comme une vache espagnole.
    Hablo español como un gringo borracho.
    Ich sprechen deutsch wie italienisch Fußballtrainer.

  • Down the street. Around the block. Past the river.
    Devant l’hôtel. A côté du parc. Au tabac.
    Por el otro lado. Derecho, defrente. Cerca del bosque.
    Hinter dem Haus. Durch den Tunnel. Bei der Ampel rechts.

  • Across the bridge. Two blocks down. Go that way.
    Retournez d’où vous êtes venu[e]. Vous êtes là. Par là c’est bloqué.
    Doble a la derecha. Tome el autobús. Este sitio es peligroso.
    Durch’s Treppenhaus. Am Kanal lang. Dem Geruch nach.

  • Where is the Cathedral?
    Où est le bordel ?
    ¿Dónde se da masajes?
    Wo geht’s 'n hier zum Puff?

… and so on …

The Steam version plays well. It was the reason I opened a steam account.

:bust_in_silhouette: Doesn’t work for me. I have my browser setup to not store history and I have only 5 bookmarks (3 of which are to threads here, and 2 to steam games I’m considering.) So every letter leads either to bbs.boingboing.net, store.steampowered.com, or a Firefox help page. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some of these are inaccurate, meaning that I regularly visit some other sites with the same letter much more often, but I don’t feel like fixing them.
