Once upon a time, back in the middle 1990s when it was a major WWW browser, Netscape Navigator assumed that it could wrap domain names in URLs within "www." and ".com".

Interestingly, in Firefox, you can type a word into the URL bar and hit ctrl+enter to add "www" and "com". Shift+enter adds "www" and "net".
