Do you think browser makers should do more to distinguish the host part from the path part of a URL? Right now Firefox uses a darker color for the domain and Chrome uses a darker color for the full hostname.
- Nextgrid 7y agoI hate it how browsers always screw with how they display URLs. Some hide protocols, some hide the path, etc and the display of HTTPS is inconsistent. I could see this weird domain name being slightly confusing and looking like a full URL in a browser that normally hides the path part. It would be much easier if browsers just cut the crap and displayed the full URL (including the protocol) consistently. It's just one thing everyone can learn and then apply across all platforms & browsers.
