v9.0 Preview 2: Star in Address Bar?

Hey... What happened to the star in the address bar? Its gone! That was something I really liked. Is it temporarily disabled with plans to bring it back? Or is it gone for good?
Kindest Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
Yepp, he's gone. Look at Tims Blog...:

By popular request, we removed the bookmark indicatior (star icon) from the address bar that was added in Preview 1.

Tis a shame. I didnt realize so many people didnt like it. Too bad it couldn't have been made optional. On\off. But its a little late now I guess.

Why late? They're not in final yet so they could probably bring it back (as an option ofcourse) almost as easily as removing it.

I really liked the star too, maybe it can be an option in the next release.

Well, not all hope is lost then. I'll cross my fingers in the mean time and we'll see what happens. At least we have the notes indicator in the address bar, which is very nice.

It seems while many didnt like it, there are many who did. All the more reason to have made it optional to satisfy everyone.

Sweet! Thanks for posting that. Now I can place the button next to the address bar and still have the same functionality from p1. Its a great day indeed!

It has two great uses...
1. When visiting a page thats already bookmarked and I cant find it in my bookmarks menu\panel, clicking on the star takes me directly to it in the panel showing it to me.
2. Its simply convenient to add a new bookmark right from the address bar. Its right there and you have but to click it.
Kindest Regards,
Marc

That's a shame, one of my favorite new features too. 9p3 needs an option for it, just have it off by default.
