Sadly most major browsers go the opposite direction, removing more and more "advanced" functionality and information from the address bar (e.g. stripping the protocol, 'https://', from the URL)

Yeah, I hate that. Firefox also removed http when editing in the address bar
Firefox on Android has recently started to hide the URL entirely when using the search-from-addressbar feature. Instead of the URL of the search page, it shows the search terms, which is redundant since the terms are already shown by the page itself.
