Is there a Spotlight/Alfred extension for Chrome/ium/Firefox? I haven't seen that UX in a browser yet.

While I don’t think this browser is for me, cobbling it all together with extensions isn’t the same thing as having a unified product. Only with a unified product can you have a completely consistent experience across all of the features.. like having sharing come into its own workspace next to the ones you created.. and then being able to share via shortcuts into someone else’s shared inbox.

I’m not sure this product is fully differentiated yet, but that doesn’t mean extensions are the real competition. The real competition is the default browser.

Firefox integrates straight into KDE's KRunner framework, for one.

Yes. Vivaldi has one that can be invoked with F2, by default.

I think the parent is asking whether there is an extension for Alfred/Safari can search tabs in Chromium/Firefox. Not an Alfred like UI in Chromium/Firefox.

More specifically, if there was a F2-like extension for Safari or Chrome.

I didn't realize Vivaldi had it and it seems like one genuinely useful feature from this that I would use.

I was curious. F2 does nothing for me.
