The speed of opening a standalone app instead of opening a browser and searching through bookmarks. Also I think this app is nice to install for someone who’s very unfamiliar with computers.
For me, I just set up Wikipedia as one of the search engines, with the search shortcut wiki (you can change this to anything you want) and so typing wiki [keyword] in the address bar will do the same thing as searching site:wikipedia.org [keyword].
No need to mess with bookmarks and I don’t have to open up the page (or an app) & then search.
Not sure if you can do this with Chromium-based browsers, but I use a Firefox fork and it’s pretty damned easy on it.
