I guess similar issue with Safari not showing the url path by default, which is completely ridiculous. It is a large part of the UX. It is not going to be of benefit to anyone.
Chrome also hides things in the url that might confuse us helpless users[1], I think they made that terrible UI change before Safari followed them off the cliff. Another reason to use FF.
