> After Chromium 79 (Dec 2019), the seemingly only way to un-elide "www" is installing the extension Suspecious Site Reporter (and also, "agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy"), since Chromium explicitly hard-coded the extension ID to disable elision. On the page of that extension, there are tons of comments complaining that Chrome users need to install an extension to un-elide "www". In my perspective, this might be a sign implying that the "www" elision is not popular.

You can right-click on the address bar and select "Always show full URLs" if you don't want to install the extension:
