I was looking into how to do this with chrome, here the my findings:

Setup
1. Settings Icon -> Options -> Under the section “default search” there is a “manage” button

2. Find “amazon.XXX” in the list
3. Press edit
4. Change the URL field according to the list for epiphany

Usage
1. type “amazon” (or probably just “a” or “am” or whatever) and it will look like:

2. Press tab
3. Type what you’re looking for
4. Profit

Canonical already uses themselves as a referrer. I don’t think they like giving up that revenue. We could try Fedora and Debian but why wouldn’t they choose to keep the money for their own organization.

I hope you keep posted these monthly reports if only to serve as a reminder to use the plugin. I just heard about this last month, so anything my company purchases through amazon I try to use the plug-in, but sometimes we forget.

Hi Jaap,

wonderful news!
Is it possible to ask Fedora/Debian/Cononical and Co. to include that plugin by default?

DOM Inspector is usually your friend. For setting the tab icon, you probably want to use the “tab-icon-image” class and set the list-style-image url to the ReloadEvery icon. (I think…)

I hadn’t hear about such chargers before either, but this is no reason not to make them opt-in (or at least opt-out). Why do you want to force the chargers upon people who already do have them?

BTW, Google Chromium has awesome search integration. After in sniffed searchbox on page (like the one on Fedora’s Koji), it allows to search withing this page directly from address bar. I only need to enter “koji”, have the URL autocomplete and press TAB (there’s a hint about thist) to search within this page. This is really cool and I use it everyday. It would be awesome to have something like this in Ephy.
