More About Fauxbar Lite

Fauxbar Lite brings classic Firefox's Awesome Bar functionality to Google Chrome:
• Quickly find the history page, tab, or bookmark you're after
• Results are ranked using Mozilla's frecency algorithm, just like Firefox

To use Fauxbar Lite, either focus Chrome's Omnibox and press F+Spacebar, or click the orange Fauxbar icon beside Chrome's Omnibox.

What's the difference between Fauxbar and Fauxbar Lite? -- Fauxbar replaces Chrome's New Tab page; Fauxbar Lite does not.

If you'd like to replace Chrome's New Tab page, please install the original Fauxbar extension instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hibkhcnpkakjniplpfblaoikiggkopka
