I really appreciate @firefox adding the ability to enable custom search engines for searching with the address bar. As someone who just types my searches direct to the address bar, not having the option to use my search engine of choice was a problem that’s now solved! #Firefox

    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?

      It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks

        I think it’s more intuitive in Chrome, but much more powerful in Firefox. Personally I didn’t know that you could do this in Firefox until today

      @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
