Firefox usually decides to be smart about this, and it actually works fairly well. Lets say you have a google search cached. In Firefox, you can start typing in the address bar and it will only autocomplete up to "google.com" - in Chrome, it will instantly autocomplete the entire URL.
Is it possible to make Chrome mimic Firefox behavior in this respect? I find that wanting to go to the domain "root" is much more common than wanting to go directly to an exact URL - and even when it's not, Firefox makes sure those are kept a few arrow keystrokes away.
