Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go

An anonymous reader writes with an editorial from ConceivableTech "Since Google's move to enable users to hide the URL bar, we have seen what could be the beginning of the end of one of the key features of the web browser. Mozilla has its own thoughts, but there is little doubt that Mozilla is reconsidering the purpose of the URL bar in future versions of its browsers. In a Mozilla Labs post today, David Regev suggests that the location bar should be replaced with a tool to support more than just one command."

    It's because the United States of America is rapidly becoming a third-world country, and what's worse our politicians and corporations are doing everything they can to destroy the middle class once and for all and bring us back to some form of fuedalism, that's why. Information is power. You want to control the peasant class? Don't educate them, convince them that education is bad, knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking are bad, obeying your leaders and letting your "betters" do the thinking for you is good -- and mercilessly crush anyone who starts getting all uppity, pretending above their "station".
