Google and Mozilla are testing hidden URL bars2011-05-23 09:31 by DanielaTags: Firefox, browser, Chrome
New versions of the Chrome and Firefox browsers may have the ability to hide the bar used to show the URL of websites users visit. The features are experimental and it's unclear if they will be implemented. In order to use the "hide URL" function in the latest version of Chrome Canary, users have to enable "Compact Navigation". Once enabled, users can right-click on any tab and select "Hide the toolbar" which causes the URL to dissapear. A new add-on for Firefox 4 called LessChrome HD hides all the toolbars below the open tabs when they're not in use. The main purpose of the new features is to allow owners of netbooks and tablets to have more space to display the content of a web site. On the other hand, using the "hide URL" feature makes users vulnerable to phishing attacks, as they don't see the URL of a page. Read more -here-
