> Conclusion: Go with www

Am I missing something or is OP using a non-www domain? I'm using Chrome fyi (mentioned because I know safari messes with the address bar)

Yeah, in the comment section he does state[1], that you should stick with the one you have decided to pick in the first place.

If you are not using or planning to use sub-domains, the only issue is that you cannot use CNAMEs. This is nearly a non-issue as many DNS providers offer ALIAS/ANAME/ACNAME records that essentially provide CNAMEs on apex-domains.

Chrome messes with the address bar as well.

Safari doesn't mess with my address bar. Chrome on the other hand felt it necessary to remove any instance of www or m anywhere in the domain of the URL before it was rolled back due to backslash. www.m.www.example.www.example.com would show up as example.example.com in Chrome before the rollback.

You know part of that was a bug, right?

And Safari defaults to not even showing 90% of the URL, from what I can find.

OP here, minor nitpick: I'm not the author, I just found something interest and posted it.

That said, I agree. The author does jump to conclusions, but that's pretty much why I posted it. It's was first search result and I decided an HN debate would help me find a better answer.

yep he defaults without www.

His non-WWW site is broken. If you manually append the WWW, the site works.

Guess he is Stallmam-serious about practicing what he preaches.

Also this is a stupid clickbait non-issue.
