I also use this functionality a lot more than the boxes (although the boxes are nice too), but the _real_ killer feature for me is tab completion on the command line. All the other toy browswers appear to be limited to the URL history drop-down menu, and that is /slow/ compared to tab completion. Any browser that can support tabs down the right hand side, (smart) bookmark nicknames, and tab completion on URLs could be a competitor for me. But it appears I'm stuck with galeon for some time yet. -- Henrik Grindal Bakken <[email protected]> PGP ID: 8D436E52 Fingerprint: 131D 9590 F0CF 47EF 7963 02AF 9236 D25A 8D43 6E52 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
