    Google gets better by opening up

    Much, much better.

    I just ran a search on Google. It needed a bit of tweaking before I got the right result, when I noticed …

      Yes it is. My bad.

      Has been on my computer for over a week (thanks to LifeHacker) but I disabled it almost immediately since Firefox seemed to crash more often, so I never noticed what it actually does.

      Switching profiles turned it on.

      Still, wish it was Google. Now just (a little bit) disappointed.
