One of the most common bits of feedback we’ve heard from our users is that the WebMynd add-on makes search results slower to load. Nothing is more important to search than speed,  and this has been a source of irritation for us too. So it was the first thing we set out to improve with the new version of the Firefox add-on.

We’ve totally revamped the search sidebar and moved the customizable search tools to a separate pane in your browser:

The sidebar pane automatically opens when you do a search, and hides itself when you navigate away from the search results page. Google will now be as lightning-quick as always, and your WebMynd tools will load noticeably faster as well.

Install WebMynd 0.9.1 to try out the new sidebar, and be sure to let us know what you think.
