Is the ability to see the addresses for weblinks the only reason that you keep the Status Bar visible?

That is nice but if you really prefer to keep the Status Bar hidden what do you do?

Move that display to a better (and definitely more convenient) location.

Move the Status Bar Web Address Display to the Address Bar

Notice the address display in Address Bar.

That is definitely looking nice.

Just for fun we temporarily left the Status Bar visible as a demonstration while hovering over the link.

And then with the Status Bar totally disabled…more screen real-estate is always a good thing.

Note: The Status Address Bar extension does not show the original address behind shortened URLs.
