There is quite a bit confusion how it actually works, nobody seems to had a look at it. Chrome simply hides the subdomain if the url bar is not in edit mode, these parts are still accessible/editable and the http host behaves (and is recovered from history) as before. Copying the url works as expected.
It is still confusing for tech people, because we often need awareness where we are.
- schiffern 8y ago>Chrome simply hides the subdomain if the url bar is not in edit mode Not so. You have to click the Omnibox twice.[1] Clicking on the Omnibox once puts you in a completely new state, "edit mode [with corrupted URL]," and clicking on the Omnibox again puts you in "edit mode [with correct URL]."

- boomlinde 8y agoIt seems like it would be confusing for anyone. Especially that it doesn't just remove the lowest level domain if it's www, but any part if it's www. So "www.paypal.www.com" would be displayed as "paypal.com". If that isn't great for phishing I don't know what is.
