I appreciate this community, and I value all that I have gained from it. I’ve been pretty shy around here, up to the point of being too afraid to post my own reactions in this place until now (I found a book that has really changed my life). Anyway, thanks for letting me be a part of this community and say a quick hello.

Never mind “opening a tab”. Just search and have the “tabs” open themselves. Have aps come in and hover based on what your doing. Have them fade as you move away, but still remain accessible. The browser becomes a desktop and a history list. It COULD have its own editor or your fave editor can hover around.

As long as it keeps opening a new tab the same speed as a blank tab AND doesn’t slow it down like the Internet Explorer “connect” to open a new tab, I think the ideas are fine. I’m not sure how I would use them, but they sound interesting.

Also, how are you going to secure the personal data needed to do all these wonderful thinks? This would be a gold mine for a hacker otherwise.

I really like having a blank page open up! Please don’t force me to see some crap instead!

a browsing session is a tree of actions.
a browsers’ lifetime consists in creation of, growth of,chopping of and cutting of the tree.
a tab is a leaf in the tree; even more, going back/forward moves you from one leaf to another

the design should handle the entire lifecycle of a tab: creation,existance and disposal and also the relation of a tab with other tabs and the mother window. your post is just about the creation. if you want to read more, i’ll try to develop the idea here, just let me know, i’m terribly asleep now: http://costinel.googlepages.com/firefox

Oh yeah, and I mean this to apply to the Location Bar itself as well as text fields on a page… you know, sometimes you get an address with lots of trash at the end and it doesn’t work (common recent Google Image Search behavior) or you get lost in a Flash page and can’t find the Home page. It would be nice to quickly select part of the address that is valid, or to quickly truncate an address from the Location Bar to get to the Home page of sites with navigation issues without losing the current open Tab and without the 7-step process of: select/right-click/copy/open-new-tab/right-click/paste/go. 3 steps is better than 7 any day!

One thing I’ve been thinking about for some time is the whole copy and paste issue. SO often websites these days either have trash in the address or are blocking an address for some reason, or an address is listed without being hyper-text for whatever reason. When I select part of a text field that LOOKS like an address… it should be pretty simple for the browser to figure that out… even if the “h” is cut off of the http or it’s completely missing… the browser is plenty smart to figure out that a bunch of words with periods and no spaces is probably an internet or email address. So… when I select an internet or email address and hit right-click… I get the option to copy the information or preform a search on the information… and that’s great and all… but what if the browser was smart enough to figure out that it’s an internet or email address and give me the options to Open “www.whateversite.com” In New Tab or Email “user@email.com”? And what giving that action a keystroke as well? You know, select text field internet address, hit “Shift-Ctrl-Tab” and the browser attempts to open it in a New Tab automatically? (correcting for missing prefixes in the address just like the Location Bar already does). I think I would find that feature about 10000x more useful than any of the new “Awesome Bar” features.

Can we select graphic to lightly fill white of back ground?
An will the Amazing Bar Search move to top and be smaller
like Google does so you don’t haft to scroll down each search cause search box in middle of the page? It moves to top.
Did you also say ability to select what search engine for Amazing Bar Search page??

Can we lock search page where all new links open in new tab and not take over search page.

I like Idea of it readying page you frequent. I have folder where I “Booked Marked All tabs” to folder I frequent. Then I go to Bookmarks and select option “Open all in folder”…sure slow ties up some due to fact all loading at once. Need option to load up one after another..(load all page at once OR load one by one) So after first page loads from folder fully it goes onto the next page.

I like the fact that you are thinking about removing redundant repetitious actions
