[IxDA Discuss] Awesome Bar

[john at smorgasbord-design.co.uk]

Will Firefox 3's new 'Awesome Bar' (eeugh) [1] change the way we navigate
online, enhancing search within the browser?

 

Biggest beef I have with it is that it requires you to cache your history
continuously which isn't great if you are at all concerned about privacy
[2]. Is it appreciably different from the Google toolbar which, if you have
Google desktop installed, presumably performs a very similar function?

 

Clearly the 15 comments on the post are almost universally positive so I
wonder how the cynical IxDA community will react?

 

Good times,

John.
