Google will protest SOPA using home page

I think you overestimate number of people who use searchboxes int their browsers - how many times we saw stories about people typing 'facebook.com' into Google?

I think the majority of users, especially non-technical (and I think majority of people that should see this message fall in this category), still uses google.com as a place to begin their searches.

Last time I looked "Google" was one the most searched for items on Google due to people typing it into browser search fields to get Google so they can search for something on Google.

I've watched people do this.

I bet a lot of them do. I know people who still have Yahoo! as their homepage.

As for me, I have hardly visited the Google homepage since modern browsers introduced the search bar.
