I've been trying to find a Chrome extension that would show the beginning (www.domain.com/...) and ending (someFileorPage.html) part of a URL, in the omni-bar, truncating the middle part if the URL's too long to fit.

The beginning and ending parts usually provide the most pertinent information, and I thought it'd be useful to be able to see them without clicking and scrolling through the text. How can I get Chrome to display long URLs like this?

Truncated URL URL's ending part

    Yeah, but I'm not "asking for a product, service or learning material recommendation", as the link says. I'm just asking for a way to do a particular thing, with a popular browser. The link does say that questions about "computer software", are OK. – Qasim Oct 16 '14 at 11:46
  • I remember seeing this sometime back but I don't see this feature in Chrome ver 38 on Windows. What version are you using? Also, check this Chrome flag fix - http://superuser.com/questions/739846/how-can-i-re-enable-the-path-in-chromes-address-bar – mvark Oct 17 '14 at 17:09

    I'm on Chrome v38.0.2125.104 on OSX 10.10. I did check the Chrome flag fix, but that just enables/disables the whole URL's visibility. Hoping the Chrome devs think about this bit of functionality sometime soon. – Qasim Oct 21 '14 at 10:37

  • @TechLife The behavior I'm wanting is a little different. I'm adding a screenshot to illustrate. Chrome just truncates the URL in the middle, IMO the end part is often relevant and significant(someFileorPage.html) – Qasim Jul 24 '15 at 17:52
  • Increase your screen resolution / decrease text size. Lol I'm sorry it's not a very professional fix, but I have never heard of that option in Chrome before. I'll report back if I find something, you might just have to settle for a text size reduction though. – Raj Huff May 02 '17 at 08:13

Go to chrome://flags/#origin-chip-in-omnibox and set it to Disabled.
