Google is going to stop hiding urls in Chrome. Apparently it didn't pan out the way they wanted it to. I guess they wanted to make it less complicated or less confusing for the users but it turned out to be a security issue?
Google Chrome will once again show a website's full URL:
Google has now punted and admitted the idea didn't work as it expected. "Deleted simplified domain experiment," wrote tech lead Emily Stark. "This experiment didn't move relevant security metrics, so we're not going to launch it."
The change is now live in Chrome 91, with only the "https://" hidden by default. However, it's easy to show that as well simply by right- or ctrl-clicking on the omnibox and selecting "always show full URLs," as Android Police pointed out.
Details in bug report update.

>Sure they can.
Glad you agree with what I wrote then - that 2 different host records can point to different things - something literally everyone knows. What we also know, is reading things before replying to them. Else you might make quite the fool of yourself.
Now, instead of explaining the basics of how dns works to people on a tech site, you should spend your time fully reading the post I replied to, and my reply. Maybe an English class would help, or perhaps your ADHD medicine.
