Chrome maliciously and misleadingly modifies URLs

It's only cosmetic.

normies are scared by subdomains and protocols

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-07 6:59

just think of the social engineering potential!

When you can put different content on the root domain and the ``````trivial''''' www. subdomain, it means that the websight has already been compromised. Social engineering is the least of your problems.

www subdomains are a quirk of bygone era where "web pages,www" were expected to be just another step in evolution of the internet. Web turned out to be the "face of the internet" and no other protocol(beside the TLS security) has achieved any popularity.

given that it removed 'www' not just from bottom-level subdomain but from other parts of the address as well, your're are wrong and your're are an anus.

Removing ``/www.'' midstring is a bug, anusman. The design decision to hide it from the beginning of any URL is not.

one man's bug is an anus'ses featyre

How can they mistakenly remove the www in other parts of the url? This is literally a if (!strncmp(url, "www.", 4)) url += 4;.

maliciously and misleadingly modify my dubs!

>>10
obviously they didn't do that because some anus would then do free(url) and it would go to shit

dependson(url) urlmod = url;
if (!strncmp(urlmod, "www.", 4)) urlmod += 4;

free(urlmod); // this should be an error on compile time
free(url); // this should be fine

Is there no such feature in mainstream compilers? It seems extremely trivial.

I don't think this is standard

And? Webkit also uses compiler-specific features.

They use regexen.

Also note that an URL begins with the protocol. Of course nobody cared because anusbrowsers such as Google Chrome have been hiding the protocol forever because it's dangerous/irrelevant to casual users.

so you could register wwwexample.com and phish www.example.com users because the chrome thing would get rid of the www even though it's not a subdomain in the case of the fake site?

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-07 15:01

I think I read it wrong, but you could still find some example for phishing or something

or even url collisions, maybe?

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-08 0:01

Another case I ran into:

"subdomain.www.domain.com" displays as "subdomain.domain.com".

lol

This is what happens when you let the intern implement the "trivial domain hiding" feature

Every time I see shit like this I feel motivated to work on my browser again... where the address bar always shows the exact, full URL that was requested.

The only one who was actually willing to do it?

Does your browser support add-ons, or does it block ads natively? If not, it's worthless. Ad blockers are easy to implement though, since basically all you have to do is block requests to certain domains, and there are tons of free lists out there (such as the ones used by uBlock Origin).

that's right, you should make your're are browser

Name: Anonymous 2018-09-08 8:37

Wow finally a browser that SHOWS the full, unbiased url. Thank you Kudder, good program!

Name: Cudder !cXCudderUE 2018-09-08 17:50

I do adblocking with a separate filtering proxy.

Add-ons? Just edit and recompile it yourself. If you think that's hard, don't forget it's very different from Firefox or any other bloated WebKit browser --- compiling is a single batch file and currently takes a second.

Don't change these.
