ctrl+t, y, tab, <search query>
4 buttons and my hands never left the keyboard. Wiki?
ctrl+t, w, tab, <search query>
Never had to program this or set it up. I used the searches once and it KNOWS. Creepy? Maybe.

It's really not a big deal in Firefox.Peet wrote:Opera invented this at least 8 years ago.Mav wrote:Seriously, the search engine saver is pure genius and my favorite "can't live without" feature.

Ctrl+k
Ctrl+down until I see the t-rex smoking a pipe (mycroft)
Type the search I want (like youtube)
Click on youtube search, add.
I only add the search engines I want. Then it's ctrl+K.

It's also fast, and fairly free of bugs.
press F11 in FF?

Except this goes full screen, and I have not figured out a way to prevent this from going full screen.==Troy== wrote:SwiftSpear wrote:I use chrome because I didn't have to fight with it to get rid of almost all the useless vertical pixles every other browser likes to add at the top and the bottom of the screen that limits your actual view space, and when I install software from sourceforge it never adds a "Google chrome navbar" like every piece of freeware software seems to want to do with both IE and Firefox.

I want a minimal bar (like Chrome) at all times, not just a full screen version.

Hi, http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=20189
Note with fascination how it turned out to "let's bash Caydr" though

Re: Best Browser: ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY!!
Funny that you say that. The final quote of his post:
"Why not just use Chrome, you ask? No adblock yet."
Chrome has AdBlock now. Woot.
Why should I spend all my time downloading and installing each one of those things, when Chrome has them by default?
So far, each and every argument against Chrome has been "here's how you can make Firefox sorta do that" but it requires
A)Some menu or configuration
B)Installation of plugins (which are probably not as optimized as built-in features)
I'm not going to spend all my time turning a Volkswagon into a Porsche. I'm just going to go with the Porsche and call it a day. (Especially if they are both free).
/next please

Chrome plugins can be as simple as javascript, they're a lot easier and faster to build, and to get them running after install, a page refresh is all you need, no restarting the whole browser.
They all have nice html options pages too
