Every change to URL bars lately seems to make them less useful.
Let's hide the protocol, users don't need to know whether they are connected through http, https or ftp, right?
Let's make the URL bar jump about fifty pixels when you select it, so that your mouse cursor is no longer in the right place when you go to select a URL fragment.

- denton-scratch 5y agoThe path and the query parameters are obviously useful and informative. The problem is that those URL components have more-and-more been turned into opaque hashes, that provide zero information. And it's annoying that web-devs don't respect the principle that URLs shouldn't ever change.
