With a view to clean up the Chrome address bar, Google has decided to hide the https:// and www part of the URL in the address bar. If you want to see this part, you need to only double-click in the address bar – and this part too will appear.
- Open Google Chrome
- Visit a webpage
- You will see the URL without HTTPS and WWW
- Double-click in the address bar and you will see HTTPS and WWW
- Click anywhere on the webpage and this will disappear.
