No More URL Mistakes: Chrome Introduces Auto-Correction For Web Addresses

In a bid to make browsing a tad smoother and more intuitive, Google Chrome is rolling out a nifty feature that promises to correct those pesky URL typos we’ve all been guilty of making. This isn’t just about fixing a ‘.cmo’ to ‘.com’; it’s about understanding user intent and ensuring they land on the right page.

Here’s the lowdown: If you’ve ever mistyped a URL, say, ‘inbenzinga.com’ instead of ‘in.benzinga.com’, Chrome’s latest update will not only identify the error but will also suggest the correct URL.

This feature, currently available on iOS and soon to be rolled out on Android, is designed to reduce the chances of users landing on potentially harmful sites that often capitalize on common URL misspellings.

This seamless integration is a testament to Google’s commitment to enhancing user experience across its suite of applications.
