Chrome 13 introduces experimental hidden nav bar option
The Google Chrome user interface has always followed a model of minimalism. The Chrome developers have sought to cut the cruft as much as possible to slim down the parts of the browser window that don't show content. They could soon take it to the next level by excising the traditional navigation toolbar.
A new experimental user interface option that has landed in early pre-release builds of Chrome 13 offers a first look at what they have in mind. The browser navigation toolbar can be completely hidden, leaving only the tab bar, menu button, and content area. The forward and back buttons are moved into the tab bar, placing them in the top-left corner of the window.
To access the URL textbox, the user has to click a browser tab. This will cause a floating navigation bar interface with a URL textbox and refresh button to drop down from the tab. The floating bar will remain on the screen as long as the textbox is active, but it will slide back up and disappear after a few seconds when the textbox doesn't have focus and the cursor is out of range.
We tested this feature ourselves using the Canary build channel on Windows. The feature isn't yet supported on Mac OS X. It's obviously still very experimental and isn't configured out of the box. To test the new hidden navigation bar, you have to enable the feature from the about:flags
panel and then toggle it from the tab context menu.
This new streamlined navigation bar obviously poses some phishing risks, because it doesn't make the domain and SSL status of the current site easily visible to users. It's important to remember, however, that it's still at an early stage of development is only being made available as an option rather than a default.

Launch a mobile business with The Guide to the App Galaxy
There’s no exact blueprint for mobile app success and no developer’s journey is the same, which is why The Guide to the App Galaxy contains different advice and best practices from developers around the world. Here are some key insights from developers who have successfully built a business on mobile:
Rovio Mobile
Making money on mobile is not black and white—there's actually a lot of color. There are a number of business model options that aren't exclusive to any particular platforms.
Best, Cool & Fun Games
Offering your app for free lowers the barrier for users to download and try your app. The free version of Ant Smasher went viral because players could easily recommend the game to their friends through social media sites and word of mouth.
The Weather Channel
Don't forget to think beyond mobile. If you have a website or even a television channel, you can cross-promote your app with banner advertising or in-show mentions to drive downloads.
If you’re a developer who has successfully navigated the App Galaxy and launched your own app, you’ve probably picked up some tips of your own. Share your insights by creating your own journey and sharing it with your friends. We might even feature your story on The Guide to the App Galaxy.
The Guide to the App Galaxy is currently available in English, Japanese, Korean, French and German. We’re continuing to expand the guide to other developers around the world with new languages and new content like case study journeys. For more information about our solutions for mobile app developers, visit www.guidetotheappgalaxy.com/about.
