Hey, Firefox's still alive and kicking. It's quite ancient, comparatively speaking. :-)

Old wisemen may refer to it as a fire-breathing reptile, others a bird clad in flames. And despite suffering from declining market share in recent years, prophecy foretold that it will one day rise from the red ashes, stronger and more resilient than ever!

(Apologies for running away with the joke)

Firefox has the awesome bar, which works almost exactly like Chrome's omnibox.

Vivaldi has both the chrome omnibar and a separate search input.

But Firefox has the option to disable search functionality in the URL bar - not sure if it still asks you or if it's hidden behind an about:config option these days though. It's also significantly better at matching parts of URLs and titles from your history in my experience.
