Please make the Chrome address bar awesome.

  The omnibox is already awesome. It's Chrome's definitive UX feature, and I'm surprised nobody else has implemented it yet.

    Yep, when i have to test something in Firefox i always forget that to search in Google (or in other popular site) i can't just write it in the address bar. And it always remember all my sites so to go to hacker news i just write an "n" and it writes the rest... and i can even delete the suggestions with shift+delete. So yeah, i also don't have any idea what the parent comment was triyng to say.

      Except you can just write it in the address bar (and hit enter). Try it!

        He must be confusing with Safari.

        You can even change the search engine for that. Try about:config --> keyword.URL

      God I love chrome's autocomplete. HN is 'n', reddit is 'r', Facebook is 'f', gmail is 'g'... It's such a great usability feature. Google's approach with Chrome seems to be making the browser as invisible as possible, and I love it.

      uh? I type something in the address bar, and Firefox JFGIFM. It is called the awesome bar. I think you are confusing with Safari.

        No, i just had an outdated version of Firefox.
        • hub_ 15y ago
          very outdated then. It has been doing that for a very long time.
