How does Browser know where you want to go on the internet?

Go to Microsoft Edge Browser or any other Chromium-based browser such as Google Chrome or Brave and start typing into the address bar (actually called the omnibar).

The browser starts showing you stuff. It is not just random stuff.

How does this work? How does the browser figure out what to show you?

Well, there’s a setting that allows you to get a peek behind the curtains and get a glimpse at what’s going on.

To see what’s going on, type the following into Microsoft Edge omnibar and press enter:

edge://omnibox/

Note: This varies for other Chromium browsers. For example, Google Chrome’s type chrome://omnibox/ and for Brave use brave://omnibox/.

Now you will get a search box and lot of settings and options.

Start typing into the box and information will pop up. Information that’s based on both your history, search results, and even things like your bookmarks.

If you start typing in a URL that you visit often, the browser will show you a lot more details, such as when you last visited and how often you visited.

And you’ll notice your browser has quite a long memory.

To see all the internal links type edge://edge-urls/.

In chrome browser you want to see internal urls type chrome://chrome-urls/.

There’s a lot here to occupied.

For example, in Microsoft Edge type edge://media-engagement/ , In chrome browser type chrome://media-engagement/ will show you the top websites that you visit for media engagement while for edge type edge://predictors/, for chrome type chrome://predictors/ shows you the siters you’re most likely to visit when you type a character or characters into the omnibar.
