UGH the recent Chrome update also adds on top of this if you select then hit left arrow it doesn't even go to start it starts after https:// soooo annoying

I don't remember it doing that before but maybe i have a bad memory

Huh, just tried that on Chrome/macOS on Reddit and it actually went to the end of the www, no less.

So news.ycombinator.com it goes to the right of https:// and www.reddit.com it goes to the right of https://www.

Madness.

Google's (standardised![1]) destruction of the URL in action.

Personally, my preferred way of displaying a URL and interacting with it is a full, unmolested URL, in a regular UI edit control.
