I think it would be a good feature to pop up suggestions for the address bar, the same way that it works for the search box in Google toolbar etc.

For example, a copy of popular domain names could be downloaded and cached on the local PC, and when "yah" is typed in the location bar, "www.yahoo.com" could appear in a drop-down, even without the user ever having visited the website previously.

This could also work as a way to discover new sites (similar to StumbleUpon). A user could specify his/her interest in a specific category of sites, and those could be included in the suggestion list.

Also, the suggestions could come from an online bookmark service such as del.icio.us or Google bookmarks.
