I haven't verified this is still the case, but in the past every URL you typed into Chrome GoogleBot would then index shortly later.

ETA: Did a test and it doesn't seem to happen any more.

I work in SEO and have had many URLs that are orphaned and I go to them directly. It wasn’t until I asked Google to index via Search Console, or had it added to a site map and pinged Googlebot, that it would get indexed. You can live check if a page is indexed by using the site operator and entering the URL.

If what you said was true, then even orphaned pages would be indexed from a visit and that just is not my experience as a professional.

Yeah I made a unique HTML page on Friday and retrieved it in a stock version of Chrome. As of today there have been no GoogleBot hits on it.
