I had uninstalled Google Chrome, probably because of the sluggish previous release. But I have installed it again to give another try. The best thing I like about this browser is the address bar. It is a URL holder + your search bar.
Most of my search in the google search engine ends up in reading the result page at wikipedia. If you are like me, this is what you would do. Replace the default Google search engine with wikipedia.
Click on Settings Icon -> Options -> Basic Tab -> Default search Engine.
Result: Hit your favorite page in just one click.

Search bar and url bar at the same place now is common. I mean even in IE8 u get that!!! i like firefox. U can do all these things in FF, including assigning search keywords (say ‘w’ for wiki and ‘i’ for imdb.com)and u can just type “w Alan Turing” or “i Godfather” to go where u want to go. And default search engine in FF is go directly to the most probable site. Sort of “i’m feeling lucky option”…
Well, enough of promoting FF in ur comments-space. bye…
