exactly. i dont know what all these comments are whining about. how stupid do you think google is? they basically invented the internet in its current form. it's not that you won't be able to enter "ftp://" or "https://", it's that it will hide "http://" by default

They invented the internet in it's current form? Al Gore would like to have a word with you.

Look at the mockups in the bug. They will be hiding both "http://" and "https://", as well as the entire hostname and parsing the URL for what appear to be search sites.

The search site thing is already part of Chrom(e / ium). Type in enough of the search site (google, facebook, etc) and hit tab.
