Via Scripting News an item pointing over at Paolo’s, about Google and Firebird.
“If it’s not a URL, the string is routed to Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” feature. Now, of course you still rely on DNS to get to the site, but if google would index IP addresses of sites we could probably live without DNS.
Now: do we want to give all this power to a company?”
I don’t get it. This is clearly additional functionality from the Firebird team. Type in ‘about:config’. Then type in ‘keyword’ (without the quotes) in the Filter box, et voila. Just set it to false. So? What’s the deal? Ignorance?
