Google has changed its review about a Chrome characteristic first revealed last year that you would only have shown users on the domain of a site instead of the full address of a web page.
The URL experiment, which was first implemented in Chrome 86 in August of last year, was announced by the giant search in a position on the Chromium blog. At that time, Google wanted to determine if only show the domain in the address bar on the desktop would help users to realize that they visit a malicious site instead of a legitimate one.
Some of Chrome users were put into an experimental group so they could try this characteristic controversy. If you have been one of the users who are placed in the group and tried to visit the best TECHRADAR VPN guide in the URL: https://www.techradar.com/vpn/best-vpn, instead I would see TechRadar. com in the address bar of your browser.
Showing the full URL
While Google’s URL experiment had good intentions, it seems that the characteristic was not received, what is the company now seems to be canceling it all together?
In a new commitment of chromium, Google Emil Stark engineer put the final nails in the coffin of the experiment, saying:
“Remove simplified domain experiment. This experiment did not move the relevant safety metrics, so we are not going to launch it. :(“
Now that Google will continue to show the complete URLs in the Chrome Address Bar, you must detect the malicious websites on your own. You can do this looking for bad written words, suspicious URL and the use of HTTP instead of the safest HTTP at the beginning of the address of a website.
