|Feature open issues and risks=Performance with a large history DB should be tested. | |||
|Feature overview=Enabling autocomplete inline in the URL entry field makes it easier to enter often-typed URLs, and make our browser feel a lot faster, since the user gets immediate feedback on where we think they will go. | |||
We stopped “speaking URL” when AwesomeBar came along, and it makes us seem | |||
slower when typing a URL. A large portion of people still "speak URLs" when | |||
navigating the internet, and we currently do a bad job at accommodating these | |||
people. | |||
We propose to turn on inline autocomplete, with some additional changes that make it stop completion at URL boundaries (e.g. "/"). | |||
