hmm, the only thing it hides for me is the protocol, and that one is easy understand: a padlock shown: https. "Not Secure":http.


To get what you're seeing, I had to turn on the option to see the full URL. Otherwise it just shows the domain. That was several years ago though, so maybe it's no the default anymore.

I get it though, most people really only care about the domain and in fact, trimming everything else makes the actual domain easier to spot when it's not the domain you wanted, such as in a phishing attempt.
