Omnibox? - Derek275 - 12-12-2012
I was just wondering if anyone had thought of adding an Omnibox, like in Google Chrome. I have an idea on how to do some of it (Automatic searching if URL not found, displaying searches, ect.) but I might need help with stuff like displaying searches in one color, favorites in another, and recommended pages in another (And how to get a recommendation system going)
I was also thinking of moving the tabs to the tab, like most web browser, unless you want to keep it original. With the tabs on tab, it'll help isolate the program so if one web browser crashes, it won't cause the whole thing to go down (In theory) and to help keep track with the current page (I've noticed it doesn't change in the URL bar when you switch tabs, and this will fix it). But I don't have a copy of Krypton Navigator, so someone will have to change it in the Krypton version.
Just posting this to make sure it's OK with everybody and the changes won't enrage anyone.

I never knew about it. Thanks I might try it. It will save a lot of time. Instead of waiting for dead links

I'll have to work out an algorithm that avoids looping through the entire history database. Maybe we can use some method of sorting for this (like merge sort, split sort, insertion sort, etc).

The phrase "tabs to the tab" confuses me a bit. <!-- s:| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" title="Neutral" /><!-- s:| -->

Attached, I have a picture of what I meant by 'tabs on top' And I can't really help with the development anymore, since I have moved to a Linux distro, and my own web browser is wayy past a revision. (It's being completely rewritten in Java).
Again, if I didn't explain well enough, I'll gladly explain further.
