Nice feature.

I use firefox on linux/X11. So I often paste the URL with the middle mouse button. But not into the address bar. It's long-winded for what I realy have in mind: clear-adress+paste+go. I normaly paste the url with the middle button into the website-window itself. So I don't need to clear the address in the addressbar and the browser also jumps directly to the address. One feature chrome is missing entirely.

It's funny that your feature with missing "h" or "ht" in url-schemes works clearly in the addressbar of firefox29, but not when pasting the url into the website-window.

GC just abets to care less about memory management in applications.

Nerd Rage 17 years ago

I feel building nerd-rage building up in me, when I have to celebrate a click-orgy to watch the movie-trailer.

That is so funny: Programmers, that don't know what to do with their time, develop an api so the don't have to read documentation. Or programm a framework, or another abstraction layer on top of all the others or some meta-something to simplify the easy 80% of a job.

Sadly, creating things totaly disregarding the environment seems to have so much more sexapeal than just using what's at hand.
