*It is able to present an [[Universal edit button]] "[[Image:UniversalEditButton2.svg|16px]]" with an [[Add-on (Mozilla)|extension]] for the [[Mozilla Firefox]] for editable homepages, e.g. [[Wiki]]s.

*The Opera browser is also a [[Widget engine]] and provides the opportunity for pages to spread their widget by an extra icon "[[Image:Widget icon.png|16px]]".

*Opera's address bar doubles as a search plugin, either by typing in multiple words, or prefixing the search with a search engine shortcut. For example to search cake, type "g cake" (without the quote marks) to search google for cake.

*In [[Google Chrome]], the address bar (or ''Omnibox'') doubles as a [[search plugin]] bar which pulls [[incremental find|incremental returns]] for typed phrases or letter combinations from [[Google Suggest]]'s pre-emptive search. A Firefox addon which duplicates this functionality is available<ref>[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8823 ''Omnibox addon'']</ref>.

*Quick searches can, in some browsers, be done by entering the search terms instead of an address. Further a feature known as "keywords" can be used to search specific sites or to quickly get to a bookmarked page. For example with the keyword "w" associated with the Wikipedia search-box you could quickly find an article about cake by entering "w cake" as the address.
