Clearing the Address Bar

🌐 Scruffy’s Digital Journy — Clearing the Address Bar

Hi, I’m Scruffy. When I first tried to use the address bar, I saw words already written there — the homepage address. I didn’t know what to do. Christopher explained that this is the perfect moment to practice my mouse and keyboard skills again.

🌀 Step‑by‑Step Guide: Removing the Homepage Address

Step 1: Click Inside the Address Bar

• Use your mouse to move the pointer to the long box at the top of the browser.

• Left‑click once.

• The homepage address will highlight in blue.

  
  

Step 2: Clear the Address

• If it’s highlighted, you can simply start typing — the old text will disappear.

• Or press the Backspace key on the keyboard to delete it.

  
  

Step 3: Type Your Search or Website

• Use the keyboard to type something new, like:

  • BBC News

  • Sky News

  • Weather

• Press Enter to go there.
