| 2019 || {{dts|August}} || Browser || Chrome || Interface simplification || With Chrome 76, Google stops showing the leading https and www on urls in the address bar; however, these are shown if you click into the address bar twice. The Chrome team says that this simplifies the experience for most users by removing information that's not relevant to them, but there is some pushback to these claims from people who believe the information is important and should be readily visible.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.ghacks.net/2019/08/01/chrome-76-no-more-https-or-www-in-address-bar/|title = Chrome 76: no more https or www in address bar|last = Brinkmann|first = Martin|date = August 16, 2019|accessdate = December 1, 2019}}</ref> Users can still determine if a site is secure by looking for the lock icon; insecure sites will be marked "Not Secure".
