🔥 Alphabet of Your Most Visited Sites 🔥

Fun little experiment to try out: go to your browser’s address bar (works best in desktop Chrome) and record your top websites that autocomplete for each of the letters a-z. And if you’re feeling especially brave, share the results with the world… 😈

My Google Chrome autocomplete results for A-Z.

My Results

• A) - no surprises here. 🛍
• B) - mirror for the torrents.
• C) - for all your anime needs.
• D) - kinda old school, but I prefer checking it to any personalized newesfeeds for generic news.
• E) - Useful TODO list app (I’ve recently switched to and couldn’t be happier).
• F) - Duh, though I’ve disabled my FB news feed with the chrome plugin so I don’t visit nearly as often as I used to.
• G) - Open source work consumes a lot of my time. ⭐️ is a reasonably distant second place here.
• H) - Netflix’s younger cousin.. cause some stuff’s only available on Hulu.
• I) - Really interesting new design tool that aims to make design + dev collaboration much easier.
• J) - Very useful curated list of high quality React components.
• K) - Old KickAssTorrents mirror that is out of date.
• L) - Ahh the joys of local web development. 😄
• M) - I use FB Messenger a lot more than SMS ever since I spent a few years living abroad in Thailand. International SMS is clunky but internet messaging platforms always “just work”. And of those platforms like Line, Wechat, etc., the only one where 99% of my friends have accounts is FB Messenger.
• N) - Hacker News! 😎 I was a little surprised didn’t make it as my #1 but these days I stream more from external devices than my primary laptop. Also rounding out my top 3.
• O) - Cause some companies force you to use Outlook 🤷‍
• P) - As a serial entrepreneur, Product Hunt’s a daily visit for me.
• Q) Leaving this one out as it’s an admin dashboard for async jobs for a recent project of mine.
• R) - The constant rabbit-hole of Reddit. :sigh:
• S) - Torrent directory listing.
• T) - This one’s probably my most visited. FOMO for better or worse…
• U) - Excellent royalty-free stock photo site.
• V) - Crunchyroll’s cooler sister made by the same peeps. Anime streaming central.
• W) - Reasonably unbiased news.
• X) This was the only letter that didn’t autocomplete to any website for me… no seriously, it didn’t autocomplete even though there were results… I wonder if this is a built-in privacy mechanism of Chrome because I definitely don’t use Incognito mode... 🤷‍
• Y) - I spend a lot more time on here than I probably should. :sigh:
• Z) - Cause health’s important yo.

Categories

These results can be roughly grouped into the following categories:

• Streaming (Hulu, VRV, YouTube, Crunchyroll, and various torrent sites)
• Software (localhost, GitHub, ProductHunt, js.coach)
• News (WSJ, Digg, Twitter, Hacker News)
• Social (Twitter, Facebook, Messenger)

Insights

1. I stream a LOT of video and ❤️ torrents (shout out to ).
2. I’m pretty surprised there’s nothing NSFW on this list. 🕵
3. I’m sure there are a few results on here that would be novel and/or surprising to you and vice-versa.

Conclusion

So what is your alphabet of most visited websites?

If you’re feeling brave, share some standouts from your list in the comments below or mention me @transitive_bs on Twitter! Hopefully this was a fun little experiment for you.. in a similar vein to ProductHunt sharing the most sticky apps that people use a lot but most people don’t know about (). Also, gimme some of them claps 👏 👏 👏 Cheers!
