Do you hate the Google's Chrome shortened address bar?

97 pointsby exelibabout 4 years ago
Just discovered: Click with right mouse button on the address bar and select "Always show full URLs".

Yes.<p>I was on a webinar yesterday and the user was presenting their cool prez running from their browser. I was able to see the url, visit it and learn about their project without having to spend time asking for a link.<p>The url is valuable information to me.

Just another reason why you need to “google” something first, instead of copy&#x2F;pasting or typing url.<p>Along with FLoC, a continued march towards Google’s interest, not your interests.

I can select &quot;always show full URLs&quot; but the only difference I can find is wether the <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www</a> is showing, or not.<p>If that is all, then no, I don&#x27;t hate it. Hadn&#x27;t even noticed it was different.

Yeah, who thought that was a good idea? I did the right click thing a few months ago.

Every time they tweak the address bar, I end up confused what problem they think they&#x27;re solving.

Thank you so much! I&#x27;ve just been suffering though this change thinking &quot;I guess that&#x27;s just how it is now&quot; not realizing there was a solution.

Similar in Safari, in Preferences -&gt; Advanced you have to click a checkbox to show the full URL.

Another fun way the Chromium development team is thinking for the end users.

Yes.<p>Just as I hate the bizarre truncated relative time tagging.<p>&quot;A month ago&quot; , &quot;15 minutes ago&quot; , &quot;An hour ago&quot; ?! That&#x27;s f-n useless.<p>ISO 8601 or die! YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss How hard is that? Just leave the time stamp alone, geeze.

How long before they remove the url bar completely?

As a web dev who cares about clean, short, precise and beautiful URLs, hiding the efforts of my work is frustrating.

Yes!

Really annoying because URLs impart lots of meta information

Yes - it’s why I switched to Microsoft Edge.

I love that the grand masters of surveillance capitalism is messing up their browser. At this point I don&#x27;t understand why any geek with some pride would chose Chrome over Firefox.

&gt; &quot;Always show full URLs&quot;<p>Show what? Https? They still don&#x27;t include www the acronym and symbol of World Wide Web.
