I'm not sure how many people here are "domainers" but this could very well end up being a nuclear bomb dropped on the web domain industry.
I honestly can't think of all the implications of how this might change how people interact with the web, but what value is a short memorable domain name (ie: "color.com") if browsers are redesigned to eliminate direct type ins?
Perhaps not as big a deal if the location bar is set to auto-hide, and expand on mouse-over ... but it would really be a tragedy for the industry to disappear.
There are a few domainers on here (Ohashi, Michael Cyger, others?) I'd love to hear some of their comments on how they think the domain industry would change.

- Lennie 15y agoIt isn't really gonna go away, it is just auto-hide or gonna return in a different form. Have a look at the blog posts there are lot of different ideas there. Auto-hide is what the test-extension now does. I actually like it.
