My wife already does this. She hates typing urls, even when she knows them (eg Amazon, Home Depot) and doesn't really see why they are necessary when she can just Google everything.

I do hope you tell her the prices she pays are significantly higher because amazon and home depot have to pay for her arriving via google. Some google clicks are $25 each! You can be sure its you that pays that bill in the end. Better hope not too many people looked at what you want to buy before you did. ;)

Someone should fund a "cash back for not using google" browser extension.

Amazon has smile.amazon.(tld) that sort-of serves to nudge people away from search - doesn't give cash back to you, but donates to a nominated charity.
