I see the benefits for these features, but do not see why the bar had to become that obtrusive in appearance and behavior for them.

But for me these features are useless at best and a distraction in practice, I don't want suggestions from my browser, at all, I want to think for my self.

I use the url bar simply for entering addresses, or for copying and editing them. I completely disabled my history and what I want to remember I keep as bookmarks. When I want so search something I use the search box.

There's "switch to tab" which I've found useful when I forget I have a tab already open.
