Do you hate the Google's Chrome shortened address bar?

I can select "always show full URLs" but the only difference I can find is wether the https://www is showing, or not. If that is all, then no, I don't hate it. Hadn't even noticed it was different.

Just another reason why you need to “google” something first, instead of copy/pasting or typing url. Along with FLoC, a continued march towards Google’s interest, not your interests.

There is a recent change that only shows the hostname portion. Very different than what you are describing.

I wonder if the Chrome team is currently doing some kind of A/B testing with the address bar? I’m on version 90.0.4430.85 and I see the normal address bar (i.e. the URL minus protocol:// ).
