> Personally I find it better for non technical people, because they can focus on the domain only. For tech people you have the option to keep the full url visible at all time, which fixes the issue.

I think a large part of my repulsion to this change is mostly because Chrome has a history of removing options constantly. A weird default with a setting to get to more expected behaviour is fine, but I have no faith in them to not remove the full url visible at all time option at this point.

Sounds about right... I am still cheesed that they're treating the address bar like where you search. For me, if the address bar does happen to go away, so does chrome.

Sorry but if you can't teach non technical users new things they shouldn't be 100 meters near a computer.

It will result in even more technical dept and people with over confidence thinking that they know what they are doing.

We don't need to idiot proof the world. We need to educate the idiots.

Unfortunately this doesn't scale to a billion idiots

I already have the "Always show full URLs", so you know what I prefer, but isn't this the same or similar to Safari's default behavior for a while? I don't hear anyone still complaining about that.
