Google is not trustworthy because between Chrome and Search they have too much of a stake in the eventual outcome of anything that could replace URLs. Any system that eventually does replace URIs should be able to tell me at a glance: is it http, ftp or a local file? Is there a TLS cert? What is the domain of the server I am accessing? Approximately where in the site directory am I?

I simply don’t trust browsers or sites which try to obscure what is actually useful information because some UX guru told them it was unnecessary. If anything, I want URLs with even more information. Which version of “http” is in use would be a nice start at this point.
