Using a white bg for the autocomplete "menu" looks better/makes the text look more visible/allows diff formatting (partitally transparent, etc.) Keep the white menu! I'd move the grey pagetitle to after the url ("elementaryos.org <grey>It's Here - elementary OS</grey>") When the window is maximized (and it is 99% of the time), you'll have to look wayyy over to the right to see it, also when things are that far apart it's hard to distinguish which entry on the left corresponds to the entry on the the right, etc. Also, use autofill or whatever it's called: like Chrome, highlight the first entry in the suggestions and add the rest of the url/suggestion to the entry. (URL bar: "elemen<grey>taryos.org</grey>") This way, I can type "ele" and press enter to get to elementaryos.org, if it's my most visited site that begins with that. (Super fast
Those added toolbar icons get me to another subject. I'm really leaning towards monochrome toolbars. When you have a few toolbar icons (like here) color isn't needed to distinguish between buttons; shapes are sufficient. Also, it reduces visual noise/clutter, and gives the focus to the content. Color should be used as an effective indicator, (monochrome) panel icons show this very well; adding color to everything subtracts from that. The only real (visual) issue is that it'd make the window controls look odd, but maybe it could be done so that doesn't happen? Or maybe it's just me
