I can't find this option on Chrome on Linux. I had to get an extension to show the full URL, but it only works for 'https://' URLs, not for 'http://'.

This drives me crazy when debugging. Whenever I copy-paste IP addresses from the browser address bar into my console, I have to manually delete the `http://` at the front. I work on a P2P project so this is an extremely common situation for me.

Are you running version 83 or later? I think they introduced the flag in that one.

Another solution for Windows and macOS users (no Linux sadly) is to use Edge Chromium, which does it by default, and you prefer to donate your data to Microsoft rather than Google like me :)
