I love how the top two points, "Choose how you search, right from the address bar" and "Keep your original search visible" are things that we always had by default in the old days with the separate search bar, until Firefox blindly copied Chrome and went to the unified bar.
And now it's back as if it's some kind of revolutionary feature, rather than they made it worse and now they're making it better again.
Not that I ever stopped using the separate search field, I always turn that on.
Never understood why you’d keep a separate search bar next to the search bar
I guess some of us just like to think the search bar and the address bar are conceptually different interface elements with different reasons to exist.
unpopular opinion: firefox copied chrome because the unified bar is simply better. the separate search field always felt like clutter to me even before i used chrome
