You are right to be wary. There is much bullcrap. Be wary of me too, because I may be wrong. Make up your own mind after you evaluate all the evidence and the logic. - Mark Rippetoe

01-24-2010 10:53 PMIt should be using your history and/or Google to predict your typing. But I haven't used the default browser in a bit (I would suggest you try xScope, it's GREAT). In xScope as soon as I start typing the window below starts to show me suggestions (predictive search according to your viewing history and google). Works great so far.

01-25-2010 12:27 AMDoes this only work to launch into the stock browser or can you either specify to open in, say... Dolphin or if you have them both w/o having a default set (the way mine is currently) will it pop up a screen to select the browser you want to use>? Whenever I open a link I get that pop-up asking which browser I want to use so will it behave this same way with these home page short cuts or will it defer to the stock browser?

01-25-2010 12:32 AMunfortunately the only bookmarks it allows you to save to the desktop is bookmarks saved in your default browser...the bookmarks youve saved within dolphin will not even be an option to save to the desktop since it will take you directly to the default browser bookmark list...
