Have you ever noticed that Google Chrome takes a minimalistic approach when it comes to showing the full URL (website address) in the address bar? By default, Chrome shows the URL sans the www or the http:\/\/ or https:\/\/.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/shorty.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve Chrome Tips\" width=\"536\" height=\"318\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">If you want to see the full URL all you need to do is double-click in the address bar. The URL will return to its shortened version when you click anything on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/shorty1.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve Chrome Tips\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">But what if you, like me, would rather always see the full URL in Chrome&#8217;s address bar, it&#8217;s easy to do. All you need to do is right-click in the address bar and choose &#8220;Always show full URLs &#8221; from the menu that appears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/shorty2.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve Chrome Tips\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">And then, from now on, you&#8217;ll always see the full URL in Chrome&#8217;s address bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/shorty3.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve Chrome Tips\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Why does all this matter anyway? Well, if Chrome always shows the full URL, you can instantly see if it says https:\/\/ (secure) or http:\/\/ (not secure). If a site deals with money or personal information &#8211; be sure you see the https:\/\/ (secure site) at the beginning of the URL.\u00a0 Even though Chrome alerts you anyway &#8211; I still like to see the https:\/\/ or http:\/\/ with my own eyes!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Force Chrome to Always Show Full URLS Here&#8217;s a question for all you Google Chrome users.
