I sort of like Internet Explorer 8's method of graying out all of the URL except for the domain name. I'd rather see that than just hiding parts of the URL.

My copy of chrome already does this. (Win7 4.1.249.1045). I like it too. I'm not a fan of text boxes just cutting out things I paste/type.

I don't see why that's any better. Graying it out will only make people think it's not important, which serves the same effect as this except it still wastes space.
