Google Chrome Concept Would Kill the URL Bar
Google is working on a “major” overhaul of its Chrome browser user interface (UI). Among the options on the table is the elimination of the URL bar, which could be the most significant UI change to the web browser since its invention. Another feature that appears to be already signed off is the support of multiple user profiles that can be used in parallel.The Chrome browser as well as the Chrome OS interface could see some big changes in the near future. Google’s Jeff Chang told Chrome developers that “there are a number of UI / frontend” efforts under way. He intends to provide weekly summaries about the progress of the work, “fit for public consumption.”
The last dramatic change of the Chrome browser UI came with Chrome 6 back in July 2010, when Google nixed the Stop and Go buttons and when it merged the Page and Tools menus. Back then, I already called Chrome the “naked browser” as it set the trend in reduced user interfaces, which aim to increase the viewable space for web and application content.
Chrome led the pace, but it is IE9, which has the most efficient UI at this time, in terms of available pixels to web content.

Pretty soon there will be no gui. I imagine the next big thing in the browser war is to just make it all voice driven, or even perhaps something akin to Wii/Move/Kinect as seen in many Sci-Fi movies like Minority Report. Keyboards and mice could end up being a thing of the past!
