IIRC this is the result of a meeting of developers of the major browsers to
exchange ideas how security can be improved. So this
a) is not a "monstruosity by Redmon designers"
b) will happen in other browsers, too
A good browser may allow the *user* to remove the location bar, perhaps
permanently for popups on certain domains, if she thinks it is annoying.
IMHO this is a good idea.
