Values

true (default)

If the active url is exactly the domain name, the trailing slash (/) behind the top level domain will be hidden. If the address starts with https:// and neither starts with a ftp. subdomain nor contains @ (usually for ftp login information), the https:// prefix will be hidden.

Examples: https://www.example.org/ becomes https://www.example.org, https://www.example.org/foobar becomes www.example.org/foobar and https://ftp.example.org/foobar remains unchanged.

false

All parts of the url are shown.
