Chromium, the open source part of the Google Chrome browser, got a new experimental flag recently that, when enabled, added a context menu option to the address bar to show the full URL of the active site. My take on the initial feature was that it was more or less worthless as it only showed the full 'URL for that site; a reload, click on a link or the loading of a new address would return to the crippled status quo.
It appears that the Chromium developers were not finished with the implementation. If you use Chromium or Chrome Canary with the flag enabled, you will notice that it has been turned into a toggle.
A right-click on the URL in the Chrome address bar and the selection of "Always show full URLs" toggles the feature.
