#448838 — FireFox Vs. Chrome.

In the screenshot below, FireFox's AddressBar/SearchBar text
(UpperLeft) stands out, larger than elsewhere;
GoogleChrome users can't do this, I think.

    Jeff-Relf.Me/SearchPlugins.PNG

The DropDown, UpperLeft, lists the "SearchProviders" I use;
GoogleChrome users can't do this, I think.

From "Jeff-Relf.Me/userChrome.CSS.TXT":

  * {  Font-Family: Times New Roman ;
       BackGround: Black !important;  Color: RGB( 255, 144, 198 )!important;  }

  textbox *  {  Font-Size: 34px ;  }
  .textbox-input  {  margin-left: 2ch !important;  }
  [ id $= container ]  {  margin-top: -1px ;  margin-bottom: -1px ;   }

  #urlbar  .textbox-input  {  Width: 300ch ;  }
  #search-container {  Max-Width: 99ch ;   }   #searchbar  {  Height: 39px ;  }

  //  "Display: Flex" --> "Display: Block"   {}
  #urlbar  {  Display: Block ;  }
  #urlbar-go-button, #reload-button, #stop-button  {  Display: None ;  }

It's just DOM elements, you can do whatever you want with JS/CSS. 
To make JS easier, if you're not against running a plugin:
<https://tampermonkey.net>

A funky demo of it on YT:
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_CVBkg4HPk>

Just think, with something like this you can even aggregate data into a 3rd
party page you've loaded for a seriously custom view. Baseball stats with
your porn? No problem ;)

I'm modifying FireFox proper, not web sites.

Can you enlarge the URL bar, or the search bar ?
GoogleChrome goes to great lengths to keep you from
selecting alternate search options, like I do.

Ah... I thought you were modifying on a 'per site' basis
(weren't you, at one point?).

> Can you enlarge the URL bar, or the search bar ?

With a style sheet, why not?  

As to plugins, I've never use TamperMonkey but it seems you could do damn 
near anything you want.

With a plugin like TM I doubt they could stop you.

No need for a plugin... it is pretty trivial to change select search 
engines on than Google from Chrome. They have a list and you can add 
your own quite easily:

Settings > Manage Search Engines

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

You can. I misread what he wrote, when I saw "options", for some reason, I put
a different  meaning to it (he undoubtedly meant "engines"). In any event, despite 
never having used it, the TM plugin is obviously very powerful so anything Relf 
believes Chrome isn't capable of (with respect to these kinds of things), he may 
want to take another look. The downside is you need knowledge of JS if you 
really want custom stuff.

I switch "SearchProviders" constantly, OnTheFly, as I browse; 
see ( UpperLeft ):  Jeff-Relf.Me/SearchPlugins.PNG
This is -not- the same thing as GoogleChrome's "Options" page.

Can TM modify FireFox proper ( not websites ) ?

Can you enlarge the text in your AddressBar and SearchBar,
so it's bigger than text elsewhere ?  No, you can not.

Fair enough... but not what you asked for initially. Looked briefly and 
did not see an extension for Chrome that offers the same functionality.

I *do* use similar functionality on Safari, though it is limited to just 
four search engines by pulldown, if you type the name of a site it will 
offer to search there (for example, type "Youtube tacos" and you get the 
option to search YouTube). I certainly can understand your preference 
for being able to just click on a search engine instead of typing it in.

I do have the ability to right click and do a search on a selected work 
or phrase from most (though not all) programs.

I believe I read that it's available for Firefox, but if it's just styling
a user style sheet is all you need.

> Can you enlarge the text in your AddressBar and SearchBar,
> so it's bigger than text elsewhere ?  No, you can not.

That I don't know how doesn't mean it can't be done.

I should have added, that doesn't mean it can be done it's just that
Chrome has a *lot* of stuff in there so I can't say. Check it out:

<chrome://chrome-urls/>

Those are XML/XUL pages, not HTML, and I can modify them, to an extent;
-- in fact, I did so a few hours ago ( About:AddOns ) --
but they have nothing to do with the AddressBar and SearchBar.

Does GoogleChrome even have a SearchBar ?

Some of the "SearchProviders" I select, OnTheFly:

Well, my browsers show them as HTML... but the point wasn't to modify *them* ;)

They may not do what you have in mind but they do have *something*
to do with them.

The address bar is also the search bar.

OK, the stuff you show below here is more along the lines of what I envisioned... 
so Snit wasn't right after all... and I'm sure he'll be apologizing any minute now,
especially after having told someone in another thread that I made a "mistake" ;)

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking and it's what you're using:

Studying System76... even now a n00b. 

I believe we have different views completely. Usenet is an uncontrollable institution based on mutual trust with strangers. Turns out Staci 'The Flooder' Elliot's constant mentioning of Rhonda January Bass met his own definition of trolling, so he abandoned that, too. Rhonda January Bass pwns Staci 'The Flooder' Elliot in every way possible. 

Like the other trolls in COLA, Staci 'The Flooder' Elliot relies on biased media to concoct his positions on subjects. Hence, he only is aware of and accepts the official news which also happens to be the ones which represent communists in a dishonestly auspicious and educated view. You guys can only think from the viewpoint of a sociopath. Rhonda January Bass's earliest statement stands accurate and correct.

#448969 — Zoom the AddressBar, like a WebSite.

They have (lame) "settings", but none is the AddressBar.
See: "#urlbar" in "Jeff-Relf.Me/userChrome.CSS.TXT"

  ...\browser\content\browser\Browser.CSS

GoogleChrome remembers the zoom settings of each WebSite;
ideally, users could Zoom the AddressBar, like a WebSite.

So, UnLike FireFox users, GoogleChrome users can't
UnDo/ReDo/Edit SearchBar text without losing sight of the current URL,
and/or selecting it from the URL history.

It's 30 Megs, 1920x1080 ( 25% of my screen ), 30 fps, AVC x264;
recorded using IceCream ScreenRecorder ( 33$, after tax ),
then << ffmpeg -i  SearchBar.mp4  SearchBar.MKV >>:

Pretty cool, especially with that 1970s vibe ;)

Why'd you keep saying I can't see?  It looked like it was mostly visible.

Are you still smoking? You need to stop that before you keel over; sounds 
like you're already working on throat cancer.

God asked to be rated according to provable trolling measurements, which Satan accommodated. 

That is the problem 'today' and American teachers don't care at all; people from smarter generations (~60 yo) are the only ones who know better than to fall for communism. No one here has ever read my program, much less found a bug; still, in my subconscious, I'm thinking, "I have dark thoughts in the middle of the night". You're clueless! Nobody who isn't just using you for erotic goals sees you as anything remotely close to decent. You have no one but me to thank for that.

You could only see the UpperLeft, 25%, of my 4k screen.
"SearchBar.MKV" is now ( 4k, 14 minutes, 125 Megs ):

No, I was just fading in an out of consciousness, 5am;
like a villan on TV, using his last breath to tell all;
Droop, Drool... Big Suck, Alert... Repeat.

Also, I was pausing a lot, to think of what to show next.

Thanks for sharing... gives a MUCH better idea of what you do with your 
desktop than still images. Your web surfing is not my cup of tea, but I 
can certainly see where it offers you advantages and it gives me things 
to consider in terms of my own setup.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

I quickly switch "where/how/what" I search, OnTheFly;
my SearchBox, has large, editable text ( UnDo/ReDo ).

Can you "UnDo/ReDo/Edit" SearchBar text without losing sight 
of the current URL, and/or selecting it from the URL history ?

Can you Zoom the AddressBar ?

> Thanks for sharing... gives a MUCH better idea of

Yeah, I love YouTube; if only I felt the same about painting,
fixing windows, installing shades, vacuuming, cleaning, etc.
