I also use this functionality a lot more than the boxes (although the
boxes are nice too), but the _real_ killer feature for me is tab
completion on the command line.  All the other toy browswers appear to
be limited to the URL history drop-down menu, and that is /slow/
compared to tab completion.

Any browser that can support tabs down the right hand side, (smart)
bookmark nicknames, and tab completion on URLs could be a competitor
for me.  But it appears I'm stuck with galeon for some time yet.
