I want to be done with Firefox so badly. I just don't want to go to Google.
There's this really obnoxious issue where search in the address bar has taken a complete dive recently.
For example, if I want to go to reddit.com/r/videos and it's a page I go to often, I can't just type "videos" because the suggestions that come up are links to threads I've visited recently. None of the suggestions are to reddit.com/r/videos which I visit far more often than a thread I've visited just once.
And it triple annoys me that this used to work just fine but then they recently changed it when they put in those stupid paid suggestions / ads.
I left long ago for Vivaldi. Glad I was gone for the ads in the search bar by default. That kind of behavior, to me, shows a change in priorities away from the user.
In Vivaldi you can set nicknames for bookmarks. So you could type
“Ctrl+L” to select the address bar
then
“rv” or “vid” or whatever you want, to take you to the bookmarked r/videos page, which you can also leave out of the bookmarks bar if you don’t want the clutter
I do this all the time now, since most websites I visit are my frequently visited (probably true for everyone). Optimize life’s most used code paths my friend and come on over to Vivaldi. This is not a paid ad lol.
