Leash: Browser Without URL Bar

Leash is a concept browser that removes the URL bar entirely — no address field, no visible domain names. It explores a future where most browsing happens through search or links, not typed addresses. The idea challenges the decades-old assumption that users need to see and control the URL. It raises questions about security (phishing becomes harder to spot without a URL) and user agency. This is part of a broader trend of minimal or "chrome-less" browser experiments, like Arc and Sidekick, that rethink the traditional browser interface.
