The next step is to move the status mode of the location bar into the content area, attached to the page. Like with mobile browsers, the page info moves with its page, thus disappearing off the top as the user scrolls down. This will allow one to focus on content, without distraction. Since the page info can be scrolled away, its new design can take up more space than the location bar, allowing better information design. The page info area is also a prime target for enhancement by extensions. In the following mockup, for example, Adblock Plus and Greasemonkey are both running on the page. Moreover, since Ubiquity is now integrated and commands are now a common means of navigation (hopefully), it makes sense to display the method used to get to a specific page. This will reinforce the learnability of the commands. Finally, all the metadata that were previously available in the Page Info dialogue can now be called here and displayed inline—all without getting in the way of content.
