Chrome May Bring Back http/s and www with Option to Show Full URLs

Chromium developers are testing a new Omnibox context menu that would give users the option to “Always Show Full URLs.” The feature is currently available only in the experimental Chrome 83 Canary build. It can be enabled in that version by typing in chrome://flags/ and setting Context menu show full URLs.

After users select the option in Chrome’s address bar – what Google likes to call the “Omnibox” – it will stay there permanently, always showing full web addresses, replete with their “https” and “www”.

Also, this will be for desktop only. It will apply across all desktop sessions (including Incognito sessions) on all devices, as it applies to Chrome profiles.
