I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it's going to be really annoying. I'll suspend judgment until I've tried it, I guess.
In settings, the first checkbox under "Search" is "Show search terms in the address bar on results pages", so it should be relatively easy to disable if you really don't like it. I'm going to try to see if I can get used to it first though.
Great news, thanks! And likewise, I'll give it a chance. Ideally I'd be able to get to the URL from the omnibar with an extra click, to get the best of both worlds.
I'm not sure how you'd do it through clicking, but I can press Esc to close the suggestions, and then Esc again to get the original URL. So instead of my usual Ctrl+L -> Ctrl+C, it's now Ctrl+L -> Esc -> Esc -> Ctrl+C.
