The feature you're asking for is ALREADY available in the Supermium browser; just use the omnibox's Context Menu (i.e. right-click) and tick the "always show full URLs" option (localised in my copy, sorry 😜 ):

Please close this issue as invalid (unless you insist on a chrome://flag, unnecessary IMHO) to declutter the issue tracker... Thanks!

@Vangelis66 thank you!

but there's no option to show www only, instead of full url.

but there's no option to show www only

... This was still possible back in the old days of Google Chrome... 68 (!) :

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/117616-hide-show-www-subdomains-urls-address-bar-google-chrome.html

Since then, in their infinite wisdom 😠 , Google Devs have decided to remove www. (and initially m., too) as "Trivial Subdomain" from the omnibox in non-full URLs:
