Re:Chrome 69: “www.” subdomain missing from URL

This whole comment is two-faced.
People know what a URL is. But this issue demonstrates misunderstandings of URLs, as "www.x.y" is not necessarily an official "x.y" page.
"www" == "web address", or "m. is ridiculous" which are annoying fashions (agreed there!), but that has literally zero impact on the security characteristics, implying yet again that people do not understand URLs.

No. This comment is a perfect example of why this is not safe to do. It's throwing open the door to abuse.
