When taking on new contributors, you'll need to be headstrong with regard to which features you see as superfluous. You'll get a lot of feedback like "Whaat, no X? A browser has to have X!" and you'll end up with a Chrome-like UI if you give in to everyone's demands. For me, that would be the address bar, because I like to make sure I'm on the right page (rather than a phishing clone) when entering account credentials, but you probably have a good reason for excluding it and need to stand your ground :).
One bit of feedback: You should provide binaries as early as possible so that people can easily try it out and become excited about the project.

Good luck!
When designing the address bar I actually have thought about phishing - thanks for reminding me.
