How many letters do you have to type before your browser knows you want Wikitree.  I used to have to put WikiT before it knew where I was preferring to go, just noticed it now knows from Wik. I wonder if it will ever know from just typing W.

Fun question!

Although I have many WikiTree bookmarks that I use, I still tried the address bar as you said...

ONE!

All I had to type was "w" and one of my WikiTree pages jumped up.

Happy days :)
I just have to type in 1  the letter w

 Okay so I am addicted to Wikitree I spelled the beans lol
1 letter for me - just the w  :)

It depends on the browser and how many times you start to type the address. Mine never will because I have WikiTree saved in my favorites and never type it in.

It is a fun question - and a measure of how often you visit WikiTree as compared to other W sites.

Like Dale I have WikiTree bookmarked and faved - but for some reason I usually visit Riksarkivet, where I often go for sources, by typing the adress. I don't think anything comes up with just one letter, but I'm down to "ri".

P.s. The reason for using this path in this case is probably that I get a convenient choice of subpages this way.

I only needed 2 letters. I have been accessing it a lot today so that is most likely why.

Same for me! Just the W (which may mean I'm spending too much time on the computer and why I'm out of clean underthings. . .) Happy New Year all!
