Because I want to use my own DNS server and block ads at the DNS level rather than the browser level. With this move, Google has effectively white listed adsense / adwords to not be blocked regardless of the network settings of the device.
this is confusing. https://www.xda-developers.com/fix-dns-ad-blocker-chrome/ seems that the problem is not async itself, but that chrome ignores the system DNS settings and uses googles own DNS servers instead.

That is a good point, I might have been pointing at the wrong issue in Chrome. I have only seen this behavior happen since 2-3 days ago and all my research pointed me to async dns being the culprit. I am really eager to find out if this can be disabled in any way, but my Chrome time has come to an end with recent developments.
This might be harmful to github pages where it would hide the repository name. If they include this without offering an option to turn it off, I will quit using Chrome.
If their goal is really to help detect fraudulent sites (the sorts of google.com.notahacker.tk), they can just show the domain in a more prominent way -- they're already deemphasizing the part of the URL after the domain name anyway. This is clearly not their motive. What Google is trying to do here is to drift the web from its most iconic components: the URL. This is the biggest threat to the web that we loved for s…
If it looks like Google.com, then it Google.com. The logo even says so.
It’s a dumbing down of the internet, in an attempt to help the average user, but it won’t work and you’re just making life harder for those who know just a bit more then average.

Wait, seriously? Their default behaviour is so broken that they have to whitelist a ton of sites, and screw anybody who slips through the net (or is trying to start a new service)?
Most browsers use the Mozilla public suffix list [1] that is frequently updated, and a new service can easily submit a new entry. This list is used for many different features. This list is necessary anyway, because you have top level domains that look like .co.uk, so you can't just split the domain name by dots and take the last component to determine the top level domain. So, not saying I unconditionally like the f…

Yeah, I think having it intelligently bold/highlight or perhaps reduce significant parts of the URL would go a long way and likely makes more sense as a next step.
Pretty ironic for a company that wouldn't exist except for the ability to crawl and index URLs. So now only the domain and TLDs are to be shown. I presume that a "full" URL can be typed once the URL bar is clicked though? But any guesses how long until they remove the ability to enter URLs?
