A little lazy, perhaps, but a fact of life. It saves time and clicks.
hehe, you caught me, I removed that search bar from all my three browsers, mainly because of taking too much space ;-) One has to click into the search area, which is the same as clicking on shortcut button, cause you can then type directly, so no click saved Moreover, the address bars are intelligent now, so when you type directly there, it will recognize and search that in your favorite search engine (at least Firefox does that)

I'd like to see a lot more short cuts and one-click solutions added to UR so that I can work with it seamlessly rather than having to wrack my brain to think of a solution when faced with each (common) challenge.
I agree! It's maybe because I very much enjoy the process of "wracking my brain" that I first think of all the various combinations before considering the most straightforward one, haha
