From the bug:
> we'll have study participants exploring the prototype in lab/survey studies, and we will also roll it out to a small % of real Chrome users to understand if it helps protect them from phishing. If the results show that this simplified domain display does help protect users from attacks, then we'll make a decision about whether to ship it to all users, balancing user feedback with the security considerations.
Interesting, I wonder what exact 'security metric' they were measuring this against to determine if this feature would make the cut.
