The above flags, which controlled whether or not the entire URL was displayed in the address bar, have been removed from the Chromium code. Many users have requested these options be returned to the browser. Further, it’s also something users would frequently ask how to do even before the flags were removed. I believe there are enough users interested in having this option available to warrant consideration for bringing it back.

brave://flags/#omnibox-context-menu-show-full-urls This flag when enabled, starting in Chromium 83 should show an option via context menu to display the full address bar.
This option should mainly toggle the old elisions in Chromium (protocol hiding, trailing slash, username-password, possibly punycode display). The subdomain “www” should always be displayed as the contents can and do differ in several sites, including sites that just don’t work without www.
