| 2023-09-28 |  | | My preferred OS is Linux Ubuntu Mate and Chrome's Omnibar's fonts are way too small. After doing numerous searches to increase the font size, it can't be increased. Then I came across Fauxbar extension and decided to try it. WOW! Due to all the features, I use it with all my OSes using Chrome. Fauxbar's replacement Ominibar is wonderful so I can see what I input. To the right, I also have a Search bar. Having all the tiles with my most used sites is great and a lot "better" than other similar extensions. I totally recommend Fauxbar for Chrome on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. You will be happy you installed this extension. | |
| 2023-09-08 |  | | Fauxbar is absolute life critical Chrome extension for me - I am a software engineer and use it to look up recently visited documentation/JIRA issues/etc. I would not use Chrome without it. I already bought the author's game and would definitely pay for this as a product to ensure that the developer can continue to maintain / improve it if there was an option to do so :) | |
| 2023-04-25 |  | | Works well with one annoying quirk: I use Fauxbar as my everything url bar. When I start typing in it, expecting to then launch a word or two into google search, it instead looks at url history and bookmarks (of course, that's what it's supposed to do) but has the first one highlighted. So when I hit enter to just search google for the word I typed in, it instead opens the url that is first in the list of things it found in the history/bookmarks. It should not do this, the url list can be displayed but there should not be a highlighted entry until the user arrows down into the list. | |

| 2019-10-24 |  | | 非常棒的擴展,可以在新標籤裡快速找到需要的網址,但問題是為什麼不是新標籤的地址欄裡面輸入沒用?難道是因為CHROME把地址欄的索引鎖住了不給改?.............後來,我懂了,要在地址欄f然後空格,調出fauxbar然後就可以搜索歷史和書籤了.棒!!!而且圖標很可愛!!!我喜歡 | |
| 2019-08-12 |  | | Twice today the extension has become "corrupted".. |
