Question about the location of the address bar, browser vendors have carried out a number of different experiments and exploration, and now the three most common are set the address bar below (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), the address bar top (IE8, etc.) and address Set the address bar left (IE9). Google developers recently started a new test, that is, hide the URL address bar.

In the development version of Chrome 13, the address bar can be hidden, only show the tab bar, menu buttons, and page content, the forward and back buttons are also placed in the tab bar, at the far left of the window.
