Did Google just launch its own domain suffix .google?

[Artashes]

so how would than work

lets say you own hostingdiscussion.com but someone in UK owns hostingdiscussion.co.uk.
so you type in hostingdiscussion, so which site will this take you too

I think Artashes was referring more to the situations where someone has already been on the site, or clicked a link. Next time you go to the browser, it would auto populate the extension as you wer ealready there.

Exactly that.

It's the one thing I HATE about mistyping a domain name - the next few days/weeks, I still get prompted with the wrong spelling

Me, too! This can get really annoying really quickly. I even searched for a solution to this specifically. Perhaps not a bad idea for browsers to introduce the function to edit the type-in URLs and let us delete undesirable ones.

This is actually news to me. Not sure what they are planning to do with this extension. Seems odd for it to not really be announced.
