Google Chrome 70 will continue to hide the WWW in the address bar
Google introduced a controversial change in Chrome 69 released earlier this month: “WWW” and “m” in hidden URLs. However, www.example.com and example.com are different. They are likely to be different websites. Google’s approach poses a security risk, and users may be more likely to be scammed by phishing websites.
After the controversy, Google Chromium products experienced Emily Schecter that they heard community feedback and decided that Chrome 70 will make some changes: continue to omit the WWW but not o. There is almost no difference between this adjustment and no adjustment.
Schecter claims that they plan to initiate relevant standardisation discussions. Other users continue to ask Google not to omit any part of the URL, but the search giant seems to have been bent on it: this is for the sake of the user!
