Today’s featured tech tip….
Force Chrome to always show the current page’s full URL
If you use Google’s Chrome browser you’ve probably noticed how it only shows part of the currently displayed page’s URL in the address bar.
I don’t know about you, but I prefer seeing the entire URL, not just the part Chrome wants me to see.
Do you prefer seeing the entire URL as well? If so, you can easily force Chrome to always show it to you.
Just open Chrome, then right-click inside the address bar and select Always show full URLs from the menu.

Rick’s Daily Pick…

It’s hard to believe they can pack so much power into such a small case these days!
