Don't be too sure of that: you'd be surprised how often I misuse the browser's location bar when I need to make a very quick note when I don't have time to first open a text editor. Once I typed what I wanted to type, I then have time to open a text editor and copy it there. This became a habit for me back when browsers did not try to provide search suggestions in the address bar. I now still turn off the suggestions now to make sure I do not accidentally send data online that I want to keep private.
