Perfecto mundos.

Now, I am going to check this out, and if it turns it is doesn't really, in as much as you need to some odd plug-in or something weird that is not W3C compliant, I shall be back, spanking paddle in hand. If it does work, then I will click on a few register ads and be sure not to bounce back.

Your extreme porn no longer exists, 404 fail for all.

FF3 Looks fine to me. I see no Bar added onto FF3 that wasn't in FF2

You do have the ability to turn off the "Awesome Bar", you just have to go to about:config to do it. Set browser.urlbar.maxRichResults to 0 and that should give you a regular address bar without auto-suggest (this was one of the first things I did upon upgrading to FF3). I agree that this should have been made configurable from the options (preferences, on a Mac) dialog, but simply Googling "disable awesome bar" would give you a bunch of links that tell you how to edit about:config. Not optimal, but acceptable (since you can, indeed, turn the thing off, provided you know how), I guess.

As a long time fan of both Firefox and Google I felt duty-bound to give Chrome a try.

Early on it obviously still had a long way to go, but once I started using it I found going back to Firefox almost painful. Not Internet Exploder painful, you understand, but Chrome's all-in-one bar and sheer speed make it near impossible to for me to go back.
