Google Chrome developers advised they would wait until Fall or Spring to disclose how they would "kill" URLs, but it appears the endeavor has already begun: users have found that the latest build, Chrome 69, hides the "WWW" and "M" subdomains in the address bar. Bleeping Computer has instructions on how to restore what Google insists is "trivial."

    Google replaced Microsoft as the big arrogant dick that thinks it own computing.

    See also, Redhat is to Linux

    If the stuff actually worked, people wouldn't mind, but inevitably that kid of relationship leads to bad technical decisions which leads to community rebellion which leads to parallel arguments where the arrogant company states they win the argument because they're the futuristic authority figure and when they say jump the community better ask how high or else, and the community states they win the argument because the companies technical decisions suck and they'll get abandoned well not today but maybe someday, and both sides yell really loud about their superiority in topics that the other side doesn't care about.

    By analogy the best response for "The General Public" with no dog in the fight, is just to move to FreeBSD and run some other browser. See ya, Chrome! Bye Bye RedHat!
