If we expand that, however, to non-technical users; no, they don't always just type the address. They type "github" into the address bar, and click on the search result for the actual site.

This behavior completely derailed my mom when her search bar was hijaacked by some just-barely-not-malware addon installed in the browser. Suddenly, she couldn't reach any of her sites.

Frustrating as hell, but at this point there's nothing I can do to change her behavior.
