That\u2019s based on a recent report from Android Police, after a change in the Chromium bug tracker was spotted.<br \/>\nThe change details the decision to end the experiment. Namely, pointing to the fact that simplifying URLs didn\u2019t improve security for users to any significant degree.<br \/>\nWhy did Google want to kill full-length Chrome URLs and what did that do?<br \/>\nNow, Google was initially changing the way Chrome displays URLs by effectively removing all but the domain name from view. So, for a site like Android Headlines, only \u2018androidheadlines.com\u2019 would have been shown.<br \/>\nThat should have, the company argued, made it easier for users to avoid scams. Especially since it would be easier to spot red flags in the domain, such as any misspellings. For instance, the user could more easily see that a scam website was showing \u201candroideadlines.com\u201d instead of \u201candroidheadlines.com.\u201d<br \/>\nThat change has been through multiple iterations since it was first introduced. The most recent was arguably the most useful since a click to highlight the URL showed the entire URL instead of just the domain. But the feedback from users was also not entirely positive, despite that Google left an option to show the full URL. Specifically, via a right-click on the URL Omnibox and by a click or tap on \u201cAlways show full URLs.\u201d<br \/>\nWith Google deciding to kill the experiment entirely, though, full-length URLs have returned to Chrome. The company did leave at least one change in place, however. The URL still does not show the \u201cHTTPS:\/\/\u201d segment of the domain name. Likely because Google has shifted to pushing the more secure protocol to default now.<br \/>\nYou should already see this change in place<br \/>\nAs to when this change will be enacted, it appears to have already begun its rollout on the server-side for the latest version of Chrome. So users shouldn\u2019t need to worry about changing any hidden flag settings or adjusting any other Chrome options.<br \/>\nThe post Google Reverses Decision To Kill Full-Length URLs In Chrome appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Chrome-Tab-DG-AH-2020.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an apparent bid to satisfy its users, Google has now decided not to kill full-length URLs in Chrome.
