- Zev 18y agoThat only makes it look like FF2. It still uses the same annoying way of guessing what URL you want.
- axod 18y agoHow is it annoying? Just unlearn the cryptic prefixes or urls, and type in what you really want.
- Zev 18y agoWell, starting to type "news" when i want "news.ycombinator.com" and getting "reddit.com" or "digg.com" is kinda pointless. Unless you're suggesting that URL's are obsolete?
- axod 18y agonot at all, but why not start typing "yc..." or "redd" etc instead? Be specific.
- Zev 18y agoMaybe my line of thought where a URL that only one website can own is outdated, but i thought that by typing the URL it would be more specific then, say, going to google and typing in "news" and hoping to find hn.
