Chrome update hides full URL, displays only domain name 📦

It was interesting to experience, looked a little cleaner, but, in the end, I prefer the full URL to be displayed.

Every update makes technology more retarded.

This is the absolute truth. I can't name the number of things that used to be better that some company changed and now it is frustrating to use. Websites are a huge one. My bank's website was completely useable and fast in its ugly, old form until they decided to add stupid HTML5 bullshit to it and adding stupid side popouts when clicking on an account, making it impossible to scroll through more than 7 or 8 transactions. Same with the grocery website I use to order online for pickup. I didn't ask for a god damn drop-down search that takes up a third of the page. I don't fear change. I really don't. But god damn if I don't believe that within every major corporation there is an entire department of shit heads dreaming up stupid ideas to implement to try to justify their existence.

Why would anyone want this? It just makes things less efficient imo

I think Safari already does this, and you click on the URL bar to get the full address.

Member AOL Keywords or whatever? Companies used to give the website address and then the AOL keyword that you could enter instead if you had AOL. It was always kind of laughable. "Please visit our website at FrostedFlakes.com! (AOL Keyword: FrostedFlakes)"
