Just another reason why you need to “google” something first, instead of copy/pasting or typing url.
Along with FLoC, a continued march towards Google’s interest, not your interests.
I can select "always show full URLs" but the only difference I can find is wether the https://www is showing, or not.
If that is all, then no, I don't hate it. Hadn'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're solving.
Thank you so much! I've just been suffering though this change thinking "I guess that's just how it is now" not realizing there was a solution.
Similar in Safari, in Preferences -> 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.
Just as I hate the bizarre truncated relative time tagging.
"A month ago" , "15 minutes ago" , "An hour ago" ?! That's f-n useless.
ISO 8601 or die! YYYY:MM:DD hh:mm:ss How hard is that? Just leave the time stamp alone, geeze.
Thank you so much!!! This was an infuriating change by the Chrome team.
Oh my gosh thank you.
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't understand why any geek with some pride would chose Chrome over Firefox.
Yes.
I hate everything in Chrome. It is a campaign to collect your data. The browser is slow and bloated as well. Stop using it!
Don't use Chrome, so no, not very much

> "Always show full URLs"
Show what? Https? They still don't include www the acronym and symbol of World Wide Web.
Yes.
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.
The url is valuable information to me.
