Difference Between Omnibar And Address Bar
As you all know, this is an era of technology and development is at its top level. As people are using browsers to access the internet and to perform a different type of work, so to make their work easier developers began to combine the search field and address bar of the browser.
Google Chrome was the first browser to do this task.
The bar available at the top of the Google Chrome browser is known as Omnibar. Basically, Omnibar combines the address bar and your Google’s search box into one area.
Omnibar always records your search history and on the basis of worldwide aggregated data, it also suggests you the search queries. It also shows the websites and URL’s, that you have visited in past.
