Thanks for posting this.

>It seems like Safari always puts `.com` when URL does not have a TLD

This doesn't even seem that helpful of a redirect! Plenty of sites don't use .com. Might be better to turn off this functionality completely.

It's probably related to the default browser shortcut which loads `foo.com` when entering `foo` in the address bar, and pressing `Ctrl-Enter`

That behavior goes all the way back to the mid 90s in IE4 at least when everything was .com
