Who requested these changes? Was it the brainchild of someone who thinks they know what people want? Or is this more a case of telling people what’s good for them? If it’s the latter, I have several unprintable suggestions that would be just as good for the person doing the telling.
Can those of us who didn’t request this feature and don’t want it have an easily accessible option to turn it off? Or at least an option to show the old-school URL*? Bury it in about:config if you absolutely must, but please leave it available.
