Open issues/risks

Highlight the full domain (like Chrome) or only the base domain (like IE, Opera)? We're currently doing the latter. Do we want a pref for this?

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Indirectly emphasize the full or base domain in the location bar by de-emphasizing/graying out the rest.

This feature falls primarily in the Discover category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)

We're making this change because:

• The advantage is to be able to quickly identify what site you're on, and avoid getting tricked into thinking it's a different site.

2. Users & use cases

`

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

`

Non-goals

Chrome and Opera go further and hide "http://", for instance. That's not part of this feature.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

`

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

`

8. Reviews

Security review

`

Privacy review

`

Localization review

`

Accessibility

`

Quality Assurance review

`

Operations review

`
