Webs’ Random Ideas

What’s the AwesomeBar you ask? Well I have been using Firefox 3 for the last month and the AwesomeBar is the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! Well actually Firefox 3 is the greatest thing, but the AwesomeBar is pretty sweet too.

The AwesomeBar is the new revamped full feature URL address bar that can do a hell of a lot of stuff. When you start typing into it a list of possible URLs appears as a drop down list. At first it will likely be filled of sites that are a possible match and items from your bookmarks. But as you continue to use Firefox 3 the list will start searching through sites in your history too (porn surfers beware).

The way Firefox 3 does this is by utilizing a SQL Lite database that keeps track of sites you visit, bookmark, as well as other important info, and this allows for better tracking, management, and meta data applications. From what more intelligent minds than myself say, this is long overdue…

But if you don’t wanna take my word for it, Lifehacker has a 10 ten list of features for Firefox 3. Go check it out! Then download Firefox 3.
