I black-holed news.ycombinator.com on my work computer by adding it to my /etc/hosts file, but my subconscious compensated by going to news.google.com often enough that now ‘n’ + enter takes me there.

At some point in time I drilled this sequence into my fingers: ctrl-t, ne, ctrl-w i.e. new tab, start typing news.ycombinator.com, immediately interrupt myself and close the tab. These days I have hn mapped to 0.0.0.0 in my hosts file.

I think I stopped using them when the browsers inexplicably lost their menus. I don't really understand why the menus went away from the top of web browser, since desktop screen space hasn't been an issue since the late '90s, even on laptops.

Firefox has menus on the top, unless the user hides them.

It's owned by YC now. We got it earlier this year. That's why it redirects to HN!

Does this indicate other incoming changes?

Using Firefox or Chrome solves this problem as you don't get full quality for Netflix on them, hence there's no address collision as you resort to using Edge (or else?) for Netflix.

Huh? You don't get full quality on Netflix in some browsers?
