Based on this similar issue where the status bar's display of the URL under the cursor is obscured for a second or so, it seems unlikely this new "feature" would be configurable.

- userbinator 12y agoIt appears that was introduced here, while "fixing" another bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1455 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1455 I don't quite understand all the concern with "width flicker", when the real problem is that important information is being hidden. Maybe they've always been attempting to deemphasise URLs, and thus are trying to divert attention away from that... (Comment 37 seems indicative of their general attitude: "we get to decide what you want, and you will like it.") There's an extension available to fix this, but it just feels terribly absurd that you have to use one to remove something that was deliberately introduced to slow down the browsing experience, on the browser that Google loves to advertise as being the fastest.
