Removing http:// from the url was bad enough. Now they are going to only show the domain? I'm so glad I don't use chrome anymore. It's this kind of obnoxious "we know better than you and won't let you configure otherwise" bullshit that made me hate it.

Even if it was customizable, the defaults is something most people don't change.

Case and point: IE Toolbars. People hate them but never remove them. Ever. Even as those toolbars are making their browser take minutes to load any page.

That used to be true, but these days IE is pretty aggressive about disabling things, and telling you when they're slowing you down. Doesn't help everyone but seems to help some.

The chrome setting is behind a config flag.
