\"chromium-logo\"<\/a> One of the most recent builds of the Chromium web browser is drawing some criticism. As you may know, Chromium is the open source browser project that Google\u2019s Chrome web browser is based on. In the Chromium version 5.0.375.3, something new showed up. The address bar was not displaying the normal \u201chttp:\/\/\u201d in front of addresses. It was reported in the issues at Chromium\u2019s code site<\/a> as a possible bug.<\/p>\n

\"URL<\/a><\/p>\n

However, it turns out that this is an intentional move, and it\u2019s started a fairly heated debate there. Some of the people posting there do not want to have the http prefix removed. Some people argue that it\u2019s a feature that everyone will eventually want.<\/p>\n

Apparently, if you need to copy and paste the address from the Chromium address bar, it will automatically add the \u201chttp\u201d prefix, even though you don\u2019t see it. This will need to happen in order to use copied URLs in other applications.<\/p>\n

In my opinion, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be a problem as long as the feature works as they say it will. I sometimes wonder why we even need to type the \u201cwww\u201d in the address. It\u2019s a waste of time and I\u2019ll be happy if it goes away for good.<\/p>\n
