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."

    Seems more like all the big tech companies are overrun by the type of people who would consider this a good idea. They are going to ab test and survey themselves to obsolescence. Thats what NHST does to you.

    Look at the reddit q anon ban for supposed violence (there was an insane amount of nonsense but no violence there). More and more crackdown on "wrong" thoughts and practices are coming, some "wrong" things are more directly political than others. These www characters are just a part of it. I dunno how to invest in the alternatives like voat that people are now discovering due to these bans, but it seems like they are in for huge growth.
