Microsoft's new Edge browser has been well received since its launch. Due to the emergence of preview channels such as Canary/Dev, its software updates are also very fast.

Recently, the Canary version of Edge has changed, the address bar has been simplified, and the URL prefix of http://www has been hidden by default.

To view the full URL including the protocol, just double-click the address bar.

After investigation, Chrome introduced short URLs last year, but other popular browsers such as Vivaldi, Opera, Firefox, etc. have not yet followed suit.

While some users may think a clean address bar is what they need, it's unclear how many iterations Microsoft will need to introduce it into the official version.
