> Chrome has bee highlighting the origin component and de-emphasizing the path since its initial release, but the fact is that the vast majority of users are still very unclear about the security relevance of origin and easily fall victim to phishing attacks.
Barely. There's very little contrast between the two parts, not enough that you would notice that there is a difference unless you look very closely.
- gkya 13y agoEverybody is complaining about the lack of contrast between the root domain and the rest of the domain in the URL bar. I reckon, both in Chrome and in Firefox, there is quite noticeable contrast between the root domain and the path/subdomain. If the contrast was bigger, then the path would be unreadable, which undesirable too.
- Touche 13y agoIn Chrome the domain is black and the path is grey. You could make one red and the other green and that would be actual contrast. Or give the domain a background and border. There's more ways to contrast things than adjusting the lightness of black.
- gkya 13y agoMore contrast might be good, but I'd not take it in expense of ugliness.
- Touche 13y agoWhy does it need to be ugly? I'm not a designer, but I have a hard time believing that the only way to contrast two elements without making it ugly is by having them be a slightly different shade of the same color.
