Why do mainstream browsers obfuscate the full URL from the address bar now? Are they trying to pull an AOL on us and obscure domain names?
You literally have to go into the secret area of VIP quality settings to disable this behavior.
What's the point of doing something like this? What are they hoping to achieve?
>>55402095
What are you talking about?
>>55402239
Browsers don't show the full URL anymore. Is that simple enough for you?
firefox-esr doesnt have this problem
Not Firefox nor Chrome do this
>>55402263
They both fucking do this by default, idiot. Update your browsers.
>>55402263
Wrong
>>55402277
Only for non-https sites and the only part they "hide" is https:// and that's it.
How is this obfuscation?
>>55402095
Because devs have gone full retard. I hate that they hide the http/https. Last time the browser would not let me enter a http site and was defaulting to the https site even though it was broken.
>>55402307
Correction, its http:// they hide on insecure sites.
>>55402259
because the average user is a retard unable to parse URIs
>>55402277
You must be on wangblows. Hah
>>55402291
>>55402277
Only Apple devices shorten the visible url, until you click/focus on the address bar
>>55402346
PAY DENBTS
This is one of the most retarded fucking threads I've ever seen on this board.
>>55402259
...what part does it hide?
>>55402346
You either changed the settings or will get it in a further update. Nightly and Canary sure as hell default to hiding the protocol.
>>55402309
Autism.
>>55402462
Yeah, those"which phone" discussions and "gurlz can code 2" threads are the epitome of relevancy.
>>55402346
you have to go back
flag on the moon, how did it get there?
>>55403249
It shortens the full url to just the main domain. Looks cleaner. OP is a retard because full url is shown on click
>>55403430
Lol this.
>>55403430
>it does a thing i don't expect
BOTNEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
>>55402409
That's Greece, dude's menu is in Spanish.
Do you even /int/?
>>55403430
>full url is shown on click
Not anymore, bitchtits. And how in the fuck does that look cleaner? More like it looks inaccurate.
>>55403492
stop using edge senpai
My current chromium doesn't hide anything. It replaces the protocol with a sign though. Not like it matters.
>>55403568
>doesn't hide anything
>It replaces the protocol with a sign
You have some twisted concept of 'hiding' there, captain fuckface.
>>55402095
Works fine for me
>>55403594
no u, autismo
>>55403594
It preserves all information...
>>55403619
>it hides something
>it doesn't it just replaces it!
Brain damage aside, it puzzles me as to why people would defend this behavior at all.
>>55402095
Do you have the autism?
>>55403674
No. Do you have down's syndrome?
>>55403652
op you entered a board full of autists ready to yell botnet at the slightest unexpected behavior and the thing that got you annoyed was so insignificant that nobody else mirrorred your annoyance congrations
>>55403492
How did you know I have bitchtits?
>>55403685
Hiding URLs isn't insignificant, it effectively leads to potential exploits. What if they decide to hide the top level domain next? Or if they disregard ICANN completely and start making up their own addresses, like AOL did in the late 90's?
The board isn't full of autists, it's full of gaymer retards who would rather discuss what color of phone goes better with their hair dye than anything resembling technology.
fucking hell the pictogram carries the same information as protocol
do you really need to see the almost-constant "http(s)://"?
Pictogram does the same thing
>>55403734
>fucking hell the pictogram carries the same information as protocol
It does not, you impossibly dumb cunt. There is absolutely no practical reason to hide the protocol.

There is: saving space and avoiding users' confusion. AND IT FUCKING DOES CARRY ALL INFO! HTTP gets a blank page picture, and https gets a padlock. FTP displays as-is. There are only 3 URI protocols supported by my chromium anyways.
