Check Edge UI. It discover sites with support for OpenSearch and add them to the search engine selection options. No need for format strings. I expect more search engines to advertise OpenSearch now that Edge can only use that. If people know about format strings, they can use the CLI to add one.
An example is Wikipedia. It is not added by default to Edge, but if you visit en.wikipedia.org it adds the option. I would probably only show the last three discovered search engines or it can become unmanageable.
Something like that sounds perfect for Epiphany.
Still annoying the need to close each tab one by one. I hope the hidden UI is exposed.
I will put this on my to-do list, should be easy to implement.
- (Desired) Import bookmarks from Firefox. There is an import
menu option but it should be able to detect the Firefox profile by default, with no need to install Firefox, export and then import. Migration should be easy
This is already implemented. Trying it out now, I see the option to import from Firefox is missing for me; I get a combo box with just one option, which is pretty bad. I don't know why; it's probably a bug. You can of course do the export->import dance, but it's supposed to work automatically, like you requested.
We display an "import from Firefox" option if a bookmarks.html can be found in a subdirectory of ~/.mozilla or ~/.firefox. It looks like Firefox stopped creating bookmarks.html files; they're now saved with names like bookmarks-2016-01-06_31_bjG4ZXCpPqCFqMYySclJrA==.jsonlz4. So it looks like it would be a project to get this working again.
