Kiwi no longer suggests bookmarks when typing in "omnibox" #478

Open MooShuOrc opened 2 years ago

MooShuOrc commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug When typing in the address bar (''omnibox''), Kiwi doesn't suggest most of the potential matches in the user's bookmarks. It used to, but suddenly stopped in ver 98. I liked the previous behavior. Please restore it or add an option to do so.

Hi, download the latest build from here: https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src.next/releases

The issue has been fixed.

Thanks for the reply, but it is not fixed in 99.0.4844.66 (aka "Generation 1973772964"). It's a little better insofar as it will occasionally suggest from bookmarks, but not usually.

For anyone else who is both annoyed by this issue and curious about it, I have found that it's related to an upstream (Chromium) issue. There was an edge case where people with tens of thousands of bookmarks were getting reduced performance. So, to "fix" it, they neutered the feature.

Last I checked, they were working on it, so maybe it'll start working properly at some point, or maybe "occasionally working" is close enough and they're done.
