And... there is Firefox. And Chromium. Thankfully Chrome isn't the only game in town. Even other browsers that use the Chrome rendering engine (such as Microsoft Edge) don't need to take their UE cues from Google.

I switched to Firefox ages ago because of a greater interest in not being tracked, something in which Google has a financial interest but the Mozilla Foundation does not.

"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."
