Why not just type the first few letters in the URL bar? For my lemmy instance, I just type “sh” and it completes. For everything else, I use Duckduckgo bangs (“!a” for Amazon, “!w” for Wikipedia, etc).
It should totally be an option, but I don’t remember the last time I ever clicked on anything in the new tab page.
i sometimes use the shortcuts for sites i commonly visit

If you’ve just opened a new tab, your hand is on the mouse and the page you want is one click away, why bother typing?
Um, no? I type “Ctrl+T” (or Cmd+T) to open the new tab. I honestly don’t know the last time I used the mouse to open a new tab.
Right, but you asked why not type it, I was giving you a reason why. That’s also why I put in the disclaimer about having your hand on the mouse.
