Matt is always looking for inspiration, as we all should be. Whether it comes from Burning man or elsewhere seems irrelevant.
>I usually avoid adding more browser extensions as they make Chrome slower and more buggy.
I feel you.
1. It surfaces hidden submenu items.
This will immediately give you access to all the navigational links that you wouldn't get access to.
2. It harmonizes tabbing experience visually.
Sites have made a mess of focus indicators, most removing them. This extension will make the active selection more visible.
3. It surfaces the associated link easier.
4. In the near future it will support all HTML elements.
You'll be able to search for the inputs and select the one you choose.
5. It pulls in history/favorite/open tabs/common sites to pull your browsing context into the current tab.
6. It's a more natural flow.
To select a link and follow it with chrome you need to: 1.CMD/CTRL + F 2. Search for link 3. ESC to select the element (esc is a weird key here) 4. Enter
Instead 1.CMD/CTRL + F 2. Search for link 3. TAB to select the element 4. Enter
7. You can see the search results in the result set all at once even if they are far apart on the page.
We/I want to build useful things. This is a distraction. I believe Automattic is a net benefit for the web and look forward to having more focus to continue delivering on that. Internally, were focused on that.
