Also the switching is more difficult than you make out without the key feature of a home button which many users base lots of browsing around.

Some things i noticed were that firstly, its address bar also works as a search bar and on right clicking it, it also allows to select a particular search engine and secondly, the javascript and feeds are not working properly. Wel, switching to a new browser had never been so easy. Chrome is superb.

Cybersearch also implements the search keywords. However, I think the most important features of Chrome are the security (Sandbox), Multithread and process isolation, V8 (similar will come to Firefox), and the low memory and resource footprint. That makes it great for home users like my mom and my wife, while technical guys prefer the extensibility of Firefox.

Once you have found it there, modify the string in there and replace it with: <em>http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=</em> Then, when you type in keywords into Firefox, it will search Google for them instead of giving you the "I'm Feeling Lucky" result.

I believe this was a Mozilla feature and I'd really like it back. What about the ability to search Google from the address bar? I believe this was a Mozilla feature and I’d really like it back.
