ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Address bar

The address bar is the place where you type in the address or the name of a website that you want to visit. It's like a map to find where you want to go on the internet. Think of it like a treasure map that shows you where the treasure (the website) is hiding. When you type in the website name or address, the computer uses the address bar to talk to other computers far away, which will show you the website that you want to see on your screen. The address bar is always at the top of your internet browser, like a big banner, so you can't miss it.
