  I wouldn't assert it without strong evidence. This URL comprehension problem is probably more complex than what people usually think. There are a number of studies about this issue, if you're interested. https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/400599205ab5a1c9efa03e2a7c127eb8200bf288.pdf https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-... https://kumarde.com/papers/urls.pdf https://kumarde.com/papers/urls.pdf

    Thank you for those! Side question: I don't have a formal education in CS, but I really enjoy reading papers on programming (languages), architecture, data-engineering and web related things among others, especially when they have a practical focus/impact. Is there a good way for me to find or rather discover resources like these?

      Not sure about filtering for practical focus/impact but https://arxiv.org/ https://arxiv.org/ is an amazingly useful and informative repository of papers that you might like. Also google scholar is good, but more general.

Looking up at the top of my browser, I can see that "ycombinator.com" is highlighted and the rest of the URL is a darker grey. To me, this seems like a good compromise; you still get the full URL but the important parts stand out a bit more.
