I recently switched from Chrome and I'm really loving the responsiveness along with the neat and clean UI on the new Edge. However, I wish to not have the mentioned elements in the address bar constantly as it really doesn't serve any purpose for me whereas keeping them hidden would make it look cleaner. I have no problems in double clicking on it just to see the complete address.
