While knowing address and enter it in browser is nice feature but I don't like to see it like address bar and it would be nice if it shows professional way instead of address. Something similar to address bar in Windows Explorer.
it's not unprofessional, it's a simplified and modern way to navigate between different areas of Edge and Chrome/Chromium.
it's also easier when trying to help someone by giving them the URL to them to paste in their address bar instead of saying: "go here, then go there, then click this and click that"
you can see the full list here: edge://about/
Windows Explorer also uses the similar syntax (e.g D:\Folder\folder2\file)
HotCakeX in Windows Explorer, when you click on the top it shows as address but when you navigate, it is different style. It is good idea to have navigation but I am referring to UI and UX and I want show it like menu instead of address and when click on it show address (like Windows Explorer).
- Either way, it has nothing to do with professionalism, it's just a style. people are used to it because Chromium, Chrome and other Chromium based browsers adopted it.
Yes Windows Explorer has another style and it puts a small > between locations but it's not necessary to do the same on Edge. instead of > Edge uses a slash /, none of them is better than the other. it's just how it is.
