Gifs are great to explain visually.
The gif on this page is really bad at it.
Slow it down. I have watched it loop 5 times in the last 30 secondes and I still cannot tell what it is without reading the text. I feel dizzy.
Falcon – a Chrome extension for full text browsing history search

I'm not sure why you're experiencing that, but Chrome's bar certainly does let you talk about titles. Just type "Hacker" or "news" and see. At least, that's what it's supposed to do and is currently doing for me. I just fired up Firefox, and neither actually seem to index into the content of the page, which is what's so cool about this modification.
I'm on Ubuntu and just tried this in Chrome, I went manually to news.ycombinator.com, then open a new tab and type "Hacker" and HN is nowhere to be find there...
Yeah, might work if you have a bookmark or something which would store a title locally though.

#23I made one a couple years ago called All Seeing Eye.. have not had time to update it since. Did screen capture too. On Github .
I've missed All Seeing Eye & haven't found another free solution til today. fetching.io was nice, but I really wanted a local (or self -hosted) solution.

fetching.io is self hosted on OSX at least

#26How similar is this to fetching.io?
I can't speak to the internals of this extension but a few things jump to mind: this works with chrome, fetching.io works with Safari, Firefox and Chrome. This works on any OS that has chrome, fetching.io is only self hosted on OSX (otherwise there's a cloud version). This appears to implement its own indexing scheme, fetching.io uses elastic search. Fetching.io has it's own search UI, tagging notes etc, this is integrated directly into chrome. Which is best for you probably depends on your needs. Oh and fetching.io isn't open source ;)

Works fine for me on a Mac.

#28I built something like this as well!
I wonder how you solved the data storage and indexing. Does it scale to multi-month heavy usage ? Does it deduplicate multiple visits?
Cool stuff, gotta put mine somewhere. Always planned to, but never got around to it.

I agree that the thirdparty javascript files also should be supplied in full, and minified during the build process. However, I've found the originals so you can still check if they contain 'contaminated' code. chrono: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chrono-node - a natural language date parser for Node and Browserify notie: https://www.npmjs.com/package/notie - a clean and simple notification, input, and selection sui…
It serves no purpose, reviewing third-party code that you don't even know is the same that is distributed. But anyways, since Chrome has autoupdate for addons, it doesn't matter if you're reviewing the addons you install or not, because it can change at any point.
If you clone it on your local machine you also won't receive any automatic updates.

#30This ( and TreeStyleTab ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... ) ) is the main reasons I keep preferring Firefox for leisure-browsing before Chrome. Every time I use Chrome, it's impossible to find previous pages based on the title or URL, while in Firefox is super simple and works really well. Which is kind of ironic since Google is all about search and data but can't handle a browser addr…
Chrome prefers to give search hints..which lead to search page..which lead to monetisation. Annoying as hell.
