    Default Url

    I just noticed this but it's really subtle. The url font is black for the major part of the site url.
    For example, if the link is http://chromespot.com/index.php than only chromespot.com will be in black font where http://.../index.php will be in gray font. Just a small nifty change.

    I think he means the address bar, where url looks like this: http://chromespot.com/index.php

    Actually it is a security feature. Phishing is often done with URL's that may look OK to non-technical users, like www.paypal.login-here.com - where one might think the page shown is a paypal.com page. However, this is a login-here.com page, and only login-here.com will be in black. This makes it easier to see if the page is real or not.

    it was actually a Firefox plugin first called Locationbar2. Leave it to M$ to copy cool stuff from the open source community then take credit for it.
