firefox 3's location bar is a mess, not just because of this issue. It will suggest me a gmail authentication string for almost all of my inputs. There are lots of ways to do this better. I like chromes way of doing it, but it has some privacy issues.
I wrote a proposal for an extension that could passively solve the porn+awesomebar problem in the same way that AdBlock Plus passively solves the ad blocking problem. Since I am not a coder, I can’t whip up an alpha proof of concept, but perhaps someone else can take a crack at it. (I pitched it to Wladimir Palant a while back, but he wasn’t interested).<p><a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/2/5/43412/24669" rel="nofollow">http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2009/2/5/43412/24669</a><p>Apparently, there are already hooks in userChrome.css that allow preventing results from appearing in the awesomebar on a per URL basis:<p><a href="http://ed.agadak.net/2009/02/hiding-history-with-userchrome" rel="nofollow">http://ed.agadak.net/2009/02/hiding-history-with-userchrome</a>
Porn is that important to that many??? Just use the google search to go to such websites! The people they are trying to hide it from obviously are not tech savvy and won't know what cache is or where to find it.
