what do you do about googles 'omnibar'? its the most infuriating combination of address and search boxes, and there is absolutely no way to turn it off.

oh yeah, one way: firefox.

its still triggers me to this day as the last straw for me and google

Firefox has omnibox and it’s not as easy to turn off as you think. The immediately available settings do some things like add the “search” box back but the “URL” box still functions as the omnibox. Have to play around with about:config and even then I haven’t figured out how to change it turn back time to the before times.

Settings -> Search -> Add search bar in toolbar?

Yes that is the setting to turn on the “search bar” but it doesn’t revert omnibar to only URLs.
