Hmm I'm undecided on this; I can see both sides of the idea but I do wonder whether it will make sense to a newcomer to the web?

Also remember this idea first appeared on Chrome. Chrome is developed by Google. Google is a business, that realistically, has a vested interest in users not understanding urls - it means less direct site hits and hopefully more traffic via Google.

The current example extension you can use to try it out does autohide of the addressbar with it's buttons.

It is visible when first loaded and when you change tabs, etc.

I think it is pretty easy to find.
