When I open the Wikipedia homepage (https://www.wikipedia.org ), the cursor is already in the search field. Tab in case works to get there, also on article pages.

There you can just click Tab, but I think you want the focus automatically there when opening the page. Would that imply less effort than clicking the Tab key?

That depends on the language version . E.g. in Dutch, there are two Tabs required.

I use the Vimium browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, sadly no Safari), and then the shortcut for this is "gi" (press g then i on your keyboard). This does this: Focus the first text input on the page.
