2022-07-30	Pawel Jan	how to change the search engine icon not working Add search engines to Fauxbar Lite by right-clicking on search fields
2019-10-26	雷雨	這個版本是輕量的,可以關掉使用Fauxbar的新標籤,然後只在地址欄啟用,很好,我感覺還是老的新標籤比較容易操作些,書籤按得順手.
2019-08-08	Catherine Prickett	This is a great app. One tiny problem: sometimes the searches go to the homepage rather than doing a proper search. Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com are particularly bad for this.
2019-05-05	Johnny	Doesn't really do anything. IF it was on the main screen like Firefox's bar, then it would be useful ! I tried to add Wikipedia to it. I had to manually edit in the details. And then when I tried it, it just went to the main page ! Garbage.
2017-12-29	Gearoid Murphy	This extension has enhanced the usability of Chrome significantly. +1
2017-09-30	--	I'm really liking it! Wish I could change icon size on top sites display
2016-06-01	Rafael Miranda	Extensão PERFEITA! A única que aproveita de verdade a Omnibox pesquisando favoritos e histórico! Tem opções, indexação e é super rápido! Achei o que eu queria!
2016-02-22	Dan Pallas	Great. Firefox has a far better address bar ("awesomebar" they call it). It's the only thing that has kept me with firefox for so long. I found out about this plugin, and now I'm giving chrome another shot. Tip: start your search with "f" to have fauxbar functionality in the main omnibox. You'll never have to use their tab. The separate storage for history isn't suspicious. The extension needs it for indexing. Without that, the searches would be slow.
2015-05-07	Paweł Gruszka	It's must have extension. It happens to me a lot of times when i type a word which was in a page title or address chrome gives me google suggestions. Not the page I opened in the past. Then i just press f +tab and fauxbar searches my history and gives suggestions more accurate than chrome. To understand it you had to used chrome in the past.
2014-09-14	Plamcheg	What diff-nts between this and "full" Fauxbar? using second - very good!
