I haven’t actually chatted with the chrome dev team about this before, their goal is actually to increase user experience, quantitative user data shows most people have no idea what a URL is anymore beyond potentially I go to x.com, beyond the tld many users have little to no idea of the functionality of “the rest”

 If we are supposed to be looking after end users, why aren’t we outraged that we can’t see the full URL - particularly since Google is most likely trying to   hide how pervasive it is in everyone’s lives

Subject: [At-Large] Ars Technica : Google is messing with the address bar again—new experiment hides URL path
 
"It looks like Google is trying to mess with the URL bar again. As spotted by Android Police, new flags in the developer versions of the popular browser now want to hide the URL path. So for an article like this one, instead of "https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/06/google-is-messing-with-the-address-bar-again-new-experiment-hides-url-path/," the address bar would show "arstechnica.com."
