Is that not a thing in other browsers? I haven’t used Chrome since 2010 maybe, but I still remember it being a thing back then?
Well not knowing that is expected from someone who is trying to use twitter tags on lemmy
It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks
@HouseWolf There’s supposedly a way you can do it on Chromium browsers but I still can’t seem to figure it out. I don’t know if Firefox always had the ability. Either way, this is a much, much easier way to do it haha
If you use the address bar frequently, you may be interested in JS bookmarklets with params:
I’m not using Chrome since 2008 but I think it can be done in every browser
I guess on Firefox is easier to add, by right clicking on the search field while chromium browsers require to add it in the settings?
Or maybe you mean the small search icons on the bottom of the address bar, click those to change the search engine
That feature maybe is unique, or maybe Vivaldi has it?
Same. Things feel so much smoother now. I can set default search engine to a more private one while also using Google search easily when I need it.
Wait that wasn’t a thing yet? That’s great tho!
No it’s not new, I think they were just trying to say they like the feature.
They should remove the words “adding the”. So the sentence would be “I really appreciate Firefox ability to enable custom search”. The way they phrase it sounds like Firefox has recently added the custom search engine function.
@Boomkop3 Evidently, there was a way to do it but I could never figure out how. Now, you just go to a search engine you want to make as a default, open up the address bar drop-down for that search engine and there should be a button at the bottom of the drop-down menu that has the favicon for that search engine with a plus icon. Then, from there, you just set it as the default in the way you would with the built-in options!
