    What is Firefox lacking, exactly? I've made a switch last year and the only feature I miss is Tab-search in the omnibar.

    @gronostaj if you mean the ability to search between opened tabs, you already can.

    @Jilano Nope, that's not what I meant. Chrome automatically collects search boxes on websites you visit. Next time you start typing the URL and autocomplete kicks in, you can press Tab on your keyboard and immediately search on that website without opening it first.

    @gronostaj Okay, my bad.

    To emulate that feature, you can bookmark any website like that (e.g. Wikipedia), and then assign a keyword.
    That's what I use personally.

    @Jilano I do that too, but it requires manual action for every single website. Plus some search engines can have aliases added in settings, it's confusing. Chrome just does it better.

    @gronostaj I understand your point.

    I prefer to see the bright side, i.e. not having to clear the "search engine list" that Chrome automatically populated with every single website I visit.
