Fauxbar Chrome Extension

An alternative to Chrome's Omnibox. Replaces the new tab page..
Fauxbar makes Chrome's new tab page act like classic firefox's Awesome Bar:

• quickly find the history page, tab or bookmark you're after

• Results are ranked using mozilla's frecency algorithm, just like Firefox

• Add and use your favorite websites' search engines with ease

• Show tiled thumbnails for your top websites and installed chrome apps

To use Fauxbar, simply open a new tab, or click the orange fauxbar icon beside chrome's Omnibox, or focus the Omnibox and press F+Spacebar.

What's the difference between Fauxbar and Fauxbar Lite? -- fauxbar replaces chrome's New Tab page; Fauxbar Lite does not.

If you'd rather keep chrome's New Tab page as is, please install fauxbar lite instead: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bfimmnpbjccjihohjkimphfmmebffbmk
