E.g. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.amazon.co.uk</a> -> amazon.co.uk! Fair enough if you're going to a url starting with H then you're still going to pick up hotjobs but if you type fast enough then your boss won't even notice!

I do surf a lot and when it comes to going back to the site that I used to visit, I don't need to retrace all the sites I've visited. Awesome bar is, at least for me, awesome!

I wrote a post about it on my blog too. The main reason I didn't like it however is because of the bloated appearance. WTF is the need for the title as well as the URL? It took me twice as long to search for the link I wanted in the dropdown list. Also, I don't want bookmarks or history in there! I just want the few links that I type directly into the address bar. I already have a bookmarks folder. I do really like, however, that you can delete single entries in those auto-complete lists by simply hitting delete while it's selected. Can't remember if that was a feature in the previous version but I'm loving it now that I'm aware of it. I absolutely despise the Awesome Bar. I wrote a post about it on my blog too.

I love it and I make use of it all the time. Also, I have no secrets. And if I had, I could simply delete links I want nobody to see from my browsing history.

I typically don't care about what people see while looking over my shoulder as my laptop is my laptop. In the office it's very rare for someone to look over my shoulder, but even if they do, typically I type faster than most people can read... lol I absolutely love it!
