Load of gibberish in the address bar. Did have a https, though, and was apparently certified safe by Comodo, whatever that means, but the page said Thank You. Nothing else, just Thank You. Creepy and kinda horrifying. Ran a malware scan and everything came up clean, and the computer's not acting weird or showing me any ransomware demands or anything. Still, creeped out. Anyone else here ever left out the l in google and seen the weird page?

Googe was just being polite that you actually visited over his more popular brother, Google.

Well I tried opening another browser window and it opened on my normal home page, and clicking the home button just refreshed the home page, so everything SEEMS OK for the moment.

Years ago, I mistyped "hotmail" as "homtail" and was taken to a porn site. Think it's gone now.

I can't believe people still try to go to google.com when every single browser can search right from the address bar. Not only that but pretty much all of them also have suggestions when you start typing to make sure you type the right thing.

I bet that people make a ton of money by buying domains of misspelled popular domains and just make bank. Don't companies eventually just buy them out?
