I'm with you on some of those, but having one bar for URLs and search is a) great from the point of view of usability and, b) inevitable. There's just no real estate for two perfectly combinable text boxes on mobile devices.
- gothroach 7y agoI don't know, I'm still firmly in the camp that the URL bar and search bar should be separate. When I'm typing in the URL bar, I expect it to attempt to resolve and request whatever I typed in. If I wanted to search, I'd search. This has caused annoyance with some single-word DNS names not working and performing a search instead. I'm still not entirely sure why some words will do DNS resolving and some don't.
- MrStonedOne 7y agoMy argument was that AMP pages have a second url bar under the real url bar OR they have a fake url in the real url bar (see the new signed "Real URL" AMP pages system where the real address will be a google cdn url but the browser will instead show a different url then where it fetched it.
- JohnFen 7y ago> great from the point of view of usability I disagree. I really, really hate when browsers interpret stuff typed into the URL bar as anything other than a URL. For me, that degrades usability.
