Don't forget the third[1] choice: no tabs at all!

Do we need an address bar at all?
The use case I see all around me is that people start their browser, which opens to Google, MSN, or similar. They then use the search bar all day long. They open a new window for each task.
Say "No" to tabs! Open each new window with google.com.sg?affiliate=mozilla, and let people use the search bar within that page.
So the choices are:

Google, for their browser, contemplated it last year: http://www.conceivablytech.com/7485/products/google-is-se...

I use DuckDuckGo as homepage and search bar, there you can use "Feeling Ducky" bang to navigate to websites, for example "\lwn" directly opens here.

I use Opera with address bar hidden and have a key shortcut for showing a “Go to page” dialogue. In fact, apart from a Windows panel (basically a tab bar on the left) I don't uses any toolbars.

Well, you definitely need a line with the URL always on screen, so that you can know whether you are indeed on example.com rather a site that mimics example.com.
And once you have the text visible, making it editable can be done without consuming further screen space.
So, not having an address bar is dumb.

Oh, sure; having Google know every website I manually navigate to is *right up at the top* of my list of RFEs.
A long time ago, I used to set Google up as people's browser home page... until I discovered none of them understood their browser well enough to type URLs into the location box. Hey; the cursor's in a box and if I type a URL there, I get where I'm going... why does it matter?
<facepalm />

Being able to use internet technology without understanding how it actually works? That's awesome! It's a bright future for everybody.
Why the facepalm? I'm sure the information they leak to Google is nothing compared to what they're leaking to Facebook.
