Chrome 69 hiding `www.` and protocol
Taken from https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/chrome-69-removing-www-and-m-subdomains-from-the-browsers-address-bar/
Open the Chrome browser and enter
chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains
into the address bar. Then press Enter.Chrome will open a page that shows the "Omnibox UI Hide Steay-State URL Scheme and Trivial Subdomains" setting. Change this settings to
Disabled
.
@Google: For me this is a bug too. This "feature" is confusing and wrong, it should be removed.
www.domain.com
, m.domain.com
and domain.com
are three completely different hostnames.
Update:
Only current working way is to install the Google extension to Report Suspicious sites: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/suspicious-site-reporter/jknemblkbdhdcpllfgbfekkdciegfboi
It will automatically enable www and protocol in the addressbar.
Update 2021:
Google has listened to the community and added the option "View" -> "Always show full URLs" to Chrome.
