(This has now been removed, according to an update by the author.) The fundamental idea isn't all that bad. But look, even in the 300px image you still have room to show more: http://i1.wp.com/garybacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-30-at-10.17.21-AM.png?resize=300%2C109 http://i1.wp.com/garybacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Sc... le. So while I know I want to enter a new URL or search about 20x as often as I want to edit or copy the current URL, and, therefore, I am fine with needing to click somewhere else to "view or edit" the URL (default being that the search becomes blanked) - on the other hand, no reason I shouldn't glance a the full URL by default. So I suggest that you show the URL in light grey and clicking makes the field clear, but berhaps the domain name could be darker, and clicking that part will meke the whole field editable/copyable etc. It's a subtle difference but it could work. I'm certainly glad they reverted.
