I only see a search engine bar on the Navigation toolbar. But if I want to go straight to a website without going through a search engine, which takes an extra step, how do I do it?

Just type "google" and use these keystrokes

  • Ctrl + Enter – Auto-complete *.com address
  • Shift + Enter – Auto-complete *.net address
  • Ctrl + Shift + Enter – Auto-complete *.org address


If you add Alt to any of those key combinations, it will auto-complete and open the new address in a new tab as well. Alt+Ctrl+Enter will auto-complete a *.com address in a new tab, for instance.
