- !el Catire *O* Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 We will stop seeing the full web addresses in Chrome 69 after a rather controversial Google decision that had not previously announced with the arrival of this new version of the market leading browser. Google Chrome is the most widely used browser in the world with a 70% share, and Google is taking advantage of this with a series of controversial decisions. Although we already know all the news of Chrome 69, there is one that has gone unnoticed. With this version, the Chrome browser will no longer display the "www" or ".m" in the address bar, hiding it from websites because it considers them "trivial subdomains". This decision comes with the idea of Google itself to change the concept of URLs. Still with this version you can force Chrome to show the full address in the browser, either deactivating the flag 'Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Scheme and Trivial Subdomains' in "chrome: // flags / # omnibox-ui-hide -steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains "; or in a much simpler way by double clicking on the direction of the address bar, and copying and pasting it in another place where the complete address will be displayed. Different experts point out that right now two completely different sites can be seen in the same address bar, and this could favor the topic of phishing. That is to say, in this way, the user could be tricked into believing that he is on a web page when he really is in another, stealing his credentials. Many consider that this strange change is the long-term plan of Google to hide its AMP domain and do it in this way indistinguishable from the real domain. 1
