What Comes Up When You Type Individual Letters into your Address Bar?

Go To

So. Type every single letter on your keyboard (in alphabetical order) individually to see what website comes up as the first result in the drop-down list.

Formatting

If typing F gets you facebook, then merely write

f - Facebook

If typing F gets you Wikipedia in French, then write

f - Wikipedia (fr.wikipedia.org)

If typing F gets you the Google/Bing/etc search results for [word], then write

f - Google search for [word]. First result: [website]

If the site that comes up is not very widely known, then type

f - Facebook (A social networking site)

If the site that comes up has a title not related to the website name, then type

f - Four Hundred Days of Pain via [website]

If the site that comes up has not got a relation to the letter, like typing F gets you giantfrogs.com, then write

F - Giant Frogs (found the 'f in Frogs).

And go!

A: Aftenposten.no - My favourite (Norwegian) paper. It provides good news coverage, with little to no sensationalist/celebrity/sex news.
B: My Hotmail, due to a weird link-formatting.
C: Chatzy.com. I use those chatrooms a lot to talk to friends.
D: Danbooru imagebooru. It's where I get most of my avatars from, after all.
E: ...page six of Everzwijn's avatar gallery.
F: Facebook. The only reason it's not Forum Topics: (Hi, Lemurian) is because I've got that bookmarked. tongue
G: Gelbooru imagebooru. Basically the same as Danbooru. Sure, Gelbooru's got a lot of dubious stuff, but it's got no search-limitations when it comes to how many tags you can search for at the same time and sometimes you find things there before they come to Danbooru.
H: My Hotmail. Again.
I: Bulbapedia's page on Icirrus Gym. It's because of a recent Unova-arc in We Are Our Avatars.
J: Verify Java Version. Yup.
K: The Kickstarter-page for the Homestuck game. I donated, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it (and my signed print).
L: Lovdata.no. Thank you, Firefox, for actually showing that I use internet for study-related things. This is a complete database of Norwegian laws, pretexts for laws, Supreme Court Rulings, Law articles, etc. etc. Pretty great site, especially when you've got the Premium version (mine is paid by the university).
M: Miside.uib.no. The student information page for my university. Keeps track of documents from the professors, announcements, classes, my calendar, etc. etc. Really useful, and all students are expected to check it at least once every day.
N: Nrk.no. Norwegian state broadcaster, has a really great webtv.
O: Nrk.no/OL. Related to above, it's the broadcaster's page for the Olympic Games. I used that a lot during the games, because it had a full overview over all the events, when they were going to broadcast live and also offered live streaming of most events in nine simultaneous streams. It was awesome, and I really hope they'll do that again in the coming games in 2014 and 2016.
P: pokecapn's channel on Youtube. I love the Let's Plays that he and his friends make. He's the guy behind the famous Lets Play Sonic 2006 marathon, for those who don't know.
Q: QXL.no. Norwegian auction site, I buy a lot of used games there. Great site.
R: The Chatzy room for the Ultimate RPG Project (check my sig).
S: Similar to above, it's a chatroom I frequent (Serious Chat).
T: ...my Hotmail. Again.
U: Map over Unova. Same reason as for "I".
V: Bulbapedia's page on Venusaur. Not entirely sure why.
W: My student webmail.
X: The Inbox of the above webmail.
Y: Youtube frontpage. No big surprise.
Z: Zero Punctuation's video list on The Escapist.
Æ: Komplett.no's page on computer equipment. "Bærbar PC" is Norwegian for laptop.
Ø: QXL again.
Å: The front page for the Language Council of Norway, the official regulation authority for the Norwegian language. It's got a really good dictionary that I use all the time when I write essays and tasks.

Mantis: Either put \\\\ after every line, to force a break, or use * to make a bulleted list.

My results will be edited in shortly.

The autocomplete offers allspark.com when I type a, although the first selection in the drop-down menu is "All discussions" on IJBM.

b gets blogger.com as a URL suggestion, but the first selection is BigBadToyStore. C gets crunchyroll.com in the URL bar, but the first drop=down selection is the "Commerce Planet" section on Henshin Justice.
