I thought that the ideas behind that video are terrible. Google and Chrome are working tirelessly to do away with the URL for some nefarious reason. I bet it has something to do with ramming down AMP down everyone's throat. Do away with the URL and people can't tell they're on Google's cached copy instead of the original site.
- blurker 5y agoCan you elaborate specifically which ideas you thought were terrible and why? fwiw, I am not the biggest fan of Google's level of control either, but I think that the ideas in the video stand for themself. Forget the Chrome-specific stuff and just focus on the basic UX concepts. Without providing some specifics, your comment comes across as pretty shallow and more about your dislike of Google than criticism of the actual ideas. Here are some of the ideas that I think stand on their own regardless of who presented them: - EV's cannot be trusted by users because different entities can have the same name, how is the user going to vet that? - EV's have a problem of corporate name != domain name, how is the average user going to figure out if it's the right entity? - Domains are difficult for users to verify because there are so many permutations possible with all the new TLD's, as well as subdomains - URL's are difficult to read because paths are often non-human readable - URL's are hard to share through non-digital means and more... lots of generally applicable stuff that isn't all a giant Google conspiracy. What is terrible about these ideas?
