I work as a web developer, and often times have to instruct someone to open some page. I usually write "Navigate to https://example.com/something", but I feels a bit pretentious. On the other hand I want to use professional language, so I'm not sure about other alternatives like "open a page …", "go to …". What would be the correct verb to use in this case?

In that example, I would simply say "go to".
I would use "navigate" for something which required a series of steps - e.g. if someone is uploading a file they might "navigate" to the file by going through a series of folders and subfolders until they get there.
