--- Comment #8 from Blazer Silving <breakingspell at gmail.com> ---
I feel this approach could have been handled so much more simply. It's much too
different now, not a subtle improvement. I've already given my comments in the
MR, but to summarize constructively: 

The background of the URL would benefit from a very slightly shaded background
box element, to indicate that it is interactive. There was already an element
that indicated a text edit ability on hover (with a cursor change as well), it
could have been extended to lighten/darken the new background shade when moused
over. 

As the same shade was used for both modes in the version we see now, it
erroneously seems that the URL bar is always in edit mode (which is then also
affected by Dolphin Settings ->  Interface -> Status & Location Bars -> Make
location bar editable). 

Further, the drop-down breadcrumb navigation has been stable and functional for
so many years, and meets parity with Windows. I don't understand the reason
behind refactoring it under this same ticket, unless it was technically
incompatible with the new styling (It's been said that the horizontal chevrons
from before would need re-drawn?). 

This simply seems over-engineered and I must speak up that as a Dolphin power
user, I am not a fan of the new URL bar's styling or functionality. Just a
tinted background would have been excellent, without a full refactor of the
breadcrumb bar.
