Google browser is a very popular APP, and many people like to use it, but after recent updates, many partners have found that the www prefix of URL will be automatically hidden, so how to disable this feature may not be very clear to many people, so let's take a look at it with the editor.

Google browser (Google Chrome) has been criticized by users for hiding HTTP, HTTPS and WWW prefixes in its version 69. Although Google temporarily accepted criticism from users and made a change to display the full URL in the address bar, after a subsequent community discussion, Google reversed its decision and said it would continue to hide the HTTP, HTTPS and WWW prefixes from version 70.

Some users have previously said that if Google hides URL's HTTP, HTTPS and WWW prefixes in the Chrome address bar, then users' security may be threatened. If you do not want Chrome browsers to hide URL's HTTP, HTTPS and WWW prefixes, you only need to perform the following simple steps:

First, open the Chrome browser

Create a new tag page in the Chrome browser and enter it in the address bar below the tab bar:

Chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains

3. Find the following settings:

Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Scheme and Trivial Subdomains

On the right side of this setting, you will see a drop-down menu with three options:

Default

Enabled

Disabled

5. Select optional: "Disabled"

At this point, you will see a prompt at the bottom of the browser window:

Your changes will take effect the next time you restart Google Chrome.

7. There is a "RELAUNCH NOW" button on the right side of the above prompt. Click this button to restart the Chrome browser.

After the Chrome browser is restarted, its address bar can display the full URL with HTTP, HTTPS and WWW prefixes.

9. To restore the Chrome browser settings to hide the HTTP, HTTPS, and WWW prefixes, simply go to this page again:

Chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains

Set the following settings:

Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Scheme and Trivial Subdomains

Just set the status to "Enabled".
