So this might be old but I don’t care, I had never heard of it. This hack works in Firefox, IE and Opera and more than likely others as well.
- Take the name of a website and type it into the address bar
- Hold control and hit Enter
- The missing parts of the address are filled in for you
If you happen to need a .org or a .net:
.org = Control + Shift + Enter
.net = Shift + Enter
This does depend on your browser, some experimentation might be required.
That is if you type a lot of addresses, I am as lazy as crap. I actually type stuff into Google and click the result… how lazy is that! Should start doing this though.

Nifty little hack for those that do write a lot of URL’s into their address bar. For the most part I just type in the name of the place I want to go to in the address bar and I let the browser do the rest. For instance if I want to go to tgdaily.net I just type in tgdaily into my address bar and it fills in the other info for me.
Not sure my method works very well for URL’s that contain sub domains.
