Hmm :/ Full URLs are exposed both on omnibox-hover and click. And there's an in-context pref to always show full URLs for those who prefer that. If you're comfortable flipping the flag, I'm interested in your ideas about cases where it breaks down / is too fiddly / etc.pic.twitter.com/Wi6OpxuDUd

IMO a big part of the argument is what the default is. Chrome users constitute so much of the desktop web that a change to your defaults here *is* implicitly a change to the policies of the web

genuinely curious, not an underhanded call out: safari defaulted to this with macos yosemite, and iOS 8 since 2014. were you equally upset or just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because they were the distant #2 in market share?

I didn't really pay much attention to it, not being a Safari user. I really do think the market share issue makes it a difference of kind, not just degree. Web standards can matter if there are three rival browsers; when there's just one, that browser gets to define them in code
