Yeah, and I know that for every feature someone cites for why they like Vim, someone will point out how the same thing can be accomplished in Emacs (and vice versa). But it's often just superficially equivalent, as is (part of) this list. 1. Last time I tried that, it didn't sync extensions, extension settings, or bookmarklet buttons (or other settings). Unless they started doing that now (and judging by https://services.mozilla.com/ https://services.mozilla.com/ it seems like they don't), it'd still be much more of a hassle to set up a new FF install to be equivalent. 2. This only addresses a quarter of the point I was making and even for that... I don't like semantic search because you have to scan the suggested result to check that the first search result is in fact whatever you expected it to be. When I type "hn" and press enter, I don't have to wait for semantic search to do its thing, I don't have to make sure that some other site that starts with "h" or has an "h" in the name took the top result spot (and what if you have multiple pages you visit often that start with "h"?), I KNOW it will take me directly where I want to go. I can do Ctrl + T -> hn -> Enter in a fraction of a fraction of a second, while reading something else on another monitor. 3. Hah, I did actually try it out in FF before writing that part of the comment. Of course, you first have to enable it in preferences (and it was disabled in my preferences for some reason, though judging by the documentation that's not the default). Anyway, thanks for pointing this out. :) Anyway, it's the combination and integration of little things that makes a big difference, not the little things themselves that might be replicated in some way in the other browsers minus the synergy. I know this is probably not obvious until you have really tried it yourself and the reflex reaction is to squint a lot and go: "My browser can do something very much like that, too!" or "It don't need THAT! It wouldn't make a difference." Give it a try. It does.
