Firefox does similar things though. They hide the URL scheme by default. And subdomain are displayed in a more subtle colour than the rest of the domain.

Firefox hides the scheme IFF it is `http://`. It doesn't hide `https://`. Also the subdomain AND the path is slightly toned down. The net effect is precisely what Google tries to do and Apple has been doing (namely, only showing the second level domain) without actually hiding any information.
