Google Abandons Experiment To Only Show Domain In Chrome URL Bar

Google’s experiment to hide parts of a site’s URL in the Chrome address bar (the Omnibox) has failed and has been removed from the browser earlier this week.

The experiment ran from June 2020 to June 2021.

One year later, the experiment is now gone.

The options to show “simplified domains” have now been removed across all versions of the Chrome browsers, such as the Stable, Beta, and Canary builds.

Thank you, I like most others hated that anyways.
