Pretending to be an advocate of "weak users" or something? I also have a feeling that these tracking and ad centric changes from Google (eg. http warning icon) have the undertone of 'protect the children and elderly'.

I doubt that any sane technician would opt for showing the user less information. So the decision must be from someone else, someone who has no clue about how a URL works. So because that person doesn't know about URLs, nobody should know about ULRs.

Fair chance by now Google has been infiltrated by Sociopaths, the Clueless, and Losers[1]

None of whom would know how to change a tyre or what a transistor is.

Please stop using HN for ideological flamewar. It's the last thing we want or need here—it destroys this place.
