Deleteing the address bar

Is there anyway to delete the whole address bar other than pressing and holding down the back button in the keyboard? I find this a hassle when I want to type out a the web address of a new page and I accidentally hit the address bar. It would automatically remove the highlight from the whole address and put a cursor at the location where I touched the address. I would then need to move the cursor all the way to the right and hold delete just so I can delete the whole address bar. Most of the other mobile browsers for Android does this already. Instead of the enter button, it would be a button that deletes the whole address bar.

You should be able to long tap to re-select the full address bar.
