The search in the address bar is part of the regular Chrome. What’s your favorite of ChromPlus’s added features?

My experience with Microsoft Office and such is that over-featured software becomes a real issue, but useful features are, well, useful.

This concern of ShadowAce - I got tired of that with Firefox.I guess I would say that Chromeplus fills all my needs out of the box. I haven’t added any add-ons at all. I was forever messing around with them with Firefox.

Many software developers think they have to add more to make it better. Thus, their product(s) become glutware.

I have uninstalled many for that very reason. I also get mad when they take out some feature(s), as those are usually the ones I used.

One example: My current XP firewall is about 7 meg. The newest version from the same company is over 35 meg.

I have dropped several virus programs for the same reason -- they become so glutted with unwanted features that they slow the computer to a crawl.

I just recently tried out Avast's version 6 which I had to uninstall. The version 6 has a built-in sandbox program which conflicts with an independent program called Sandboxie. Even turned off, the Avast sandbox causes Sandboxie to not work. I have used Sandboxie for years and would drop Avast before I drop Sandboxie.
