Will You Miss The Browser Address Bar If Google Kills It?

Say goodbye to your address bar? maybe. Google is mulling over replacing the address bar found in its Chrome Web browser with something less intrusive (if that's the word to use). In one scenario, the address bar would only become visible when, say, the mouse pointer is hovered over a certain area of the screen. At all other times the address bar would vanish from the interface. The (possible) changes come soon after the release of the latest Internet Explorer 9 beta (technically it's a release candidate at this point). Mozilla may hate the browser, but the interface is the most ?radical? of the bunch. For starters the tab bar and the address bar are on the same Y axis, which Microsoft says helps sites ?shine.? (You always get the feeling that Microsoft tries too hard when it comes to verbiage.) Obviously what Internet Explorer does is irrelevant to the Mac and Linux users in the audience, be it serves as an example of where modern browser design may be going.
