Description

Revert moron new Chromium bookmark behaviour, omnibar dropdown showing path instead of URL

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

Chrome starts to exhibit Firefox behaviour, implementing features that no one wants except for moron users. https://superuser.com/questions/1779323/google-chrome-bookmarked-pages-dont-show-urls-anymore-on-dropdown-just-the-b https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/137suqg/bookmark_preview_showing_location_in_folders/?rdt=33578 There was a flag to revert this: chrome://flags/#omnibox-bookmark-paths but of course google removed that.

Would it be (please, please) at all possible for ungoogled-chromium to reintroduce this flag?

Thanks in advance.

Possible solutions

Reintroduce chrome://flags/#omnibox-bookmark-paths flag, maybe even enable it by default.
