Issue descriptionThe bug is similar to this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623155 VERSION Chrome Version: 57.0.2987.133 + [stable] Operating System: [All] REPRODUCTION CASE It looks like the location bar confuses when the URL contains extra prefix other than www - Such as if your domain is https://anything.example.com, It will confuse it with https://www.anything.example.com PoC: https://bughunter.withgoogle.com/ --> It will redirect you to the Vulnerability program page, However, if you try it with https://www.bughunter.withgoogle.com/ it will inform you that your connection is not secure which doesn't make sense, and if it gives you the option to confirm it's certificate It will eventually redirect to Google Vulnerability program.

I'm sorry.. What my point really is that: The browser shouldn't treat https://www.anything.example.com and https://anything.example.com different - Why? Because Firstly, www. is something really general for the websites. Plus,the behavior of almost all of the sites are like this: http://www.mail.yandex.com if you go to this website you'll get eventually redirected to https://mail.yandex.com - This makes the user to believe that https://www.anything.example.com is the same as https://anything.example.com - Making it user to believe the difference b/w http://www.anything.example.com and https://www.anything.example.com - PoC: If you'll go to mail.google.com You will be redirected to google login page however, if you go to www.mail.google.com - the server is not found.. which means I can register www.mail.google.com (Obviously this i can not register, but there are many other websites like this) and fool around with people. Hope you get my idea of point. Thanks!

*Making it difficult for the user to differentiate b/w http://www.anything.example.com and https://www.anything.example.com ***

There's no vulnerability here. The owner of example.com has control of the registration of subdomains, so she can allow (or not) www.example.com, and no other party gets to register it without her permission. You cannot, for example, register www.mail.google.com, because you do not own the google.com domain. www.anything.example.com and anything.example.com are different hostnames; a server operator may choose to have one site redirect to the other, but they're under no obligation to do so.
