My concern would be security related issues (e.g. Phishing), HTTP vs HTTPS etc.
Actually, the new Opera is hiding the full URL in the address bar, and a lot of users complained (http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/show-full-url-in-the-opera-address-bar http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/show-full-url-in-the-opera-ad...)
- ashraful 15y agoSecure URLs can show a lock icon in the tab. Phishing is a more serious concern, and its something I'm thinking hard about. Black-lists might be part of the solution. Another solution might be be displaying the URL bar only when the website has form fields for usernames, passwords, or payment info, but it might be easy to trick the browser. I might end up adding a separate URL bar if I can't find a feasible solution
