It needs to work more like how Explorer works; Show many boxes but reveal the full path when clicked anywhere. To be honest, it would be nice if it displayed a box for each part of a URL:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-Desktop-SATA-Drive-Green/dp/B008Y...
Turn into this:
[amazon.co.uk] WD-Desktop-SATA-Drive-Green > dp > B008YAHW6I
That would encourage cleaner URLs while exposing the whole thing (">" is just "/"). Perhaps an API could be created to tweak them a bit. I'm not entirely sure how to handle GET params though. A box for each parameter? One box with all of them? As for clicking the first box, it has to open up the panel that normally opens if you click on the padlock / paper so it's still one click to configure cookies / see certificates and not two.
Right now I don't like the implementation as the URL is too hidden but I do like the idea; this will make it a bit harder to do phishing. Honestly, the old approach was the right idea too; dim the rest of the URL so it's more prominent what domain you are on.
