Chrome browser stops showing URLs in address bar

The Dhaka Times Desk Finding a domain address with a URL in a browser is a hassle for many. Because for this you have to use many more characters including slashes, dots. Google is now considering replacing URLs with top-level domain addresses in browsers.

Entering the domain address along with the URL in the browser goes directly to the domain address. As a result of this initiative by Google, the URL will be invisible in the browser for a top-level domain address. This is not the first initiative to offer features including domain addresses. Earlier this feature was provided in the mobile version of Apple Safari. Google has rolled out this new feature for the Canary version of Chrome today. As a result, you may think you are reading BBC news, but your browser's address bar will have no specific URL, and only the BBC will appear. But this arrangement will be only for popular top level domain addresses. In other cases the URL will be displayed in the browser bar as before.

The new version of Chrome's Canary browser has added an omnibox option that reads: Enable Origin Chip of Omnibox Here is a service to hide URLs in the browser's address bar by Omnibox. When the user turns on this option, the browser's URL will move to the omnibox bar. This is a flagship service system that will only be used for elevated domains.

But this arrangement has been questioned by many experts and analysts. According to them, this will compromise the website's security by spreading dangerous fakes from anonymous accounts. Besides, the risk of hackers creating fake sites and hacking various user accounts will also increase. Because if the URL is not displayed in the browser, its users will not know which is real or which is fake. However, Google says that this system will be launched with an eye on such security issues.
