    @stephen254 Hmm, I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve gotten confirmations from a few others that it works, and I just checked it myself to make sure. Did you restart Safari?

    What isn’t working? All this does is remove the bar, it doesn’t add additional functions to the address bar. If you want to be able to perform searches, follow the link at the beginning of the video.

    That’s a personal thing. If I don’t have gum in my mouth I start chewing on the inside of my mouth without realizing it and before you know it layers of skin are gone. So “ffs” my personal comfort comes first, sorry!
