Google attempted a more extreme version of this four years ago: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/181657-google-moves-to-kill-off-the-url-entirely-in-new-version-of-chrome https://www.extremetech.com/computing/181657-google-moves-to... So they're doing it again, just slower: https://www.extremetech.com/computing/276454-google-wants-to-kill-the-url https://www.extremetech.com/computing/276454-google-wants-to... I'm pretty sure the eventual plan is to force everyone to browse the web using a version of the App Store, which we all know is incredibly secure, and never difficult to use.
