Missing GPO to disable omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains

Reported by brink...@gmail.com, Sep 12

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.92 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
The most recent GPO does not have the ability to disable the following setting

chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains

We are currently uninstalling Google Chrome from all workstations and machines until this is resolved as we do not like how you are treating similar internal and external urls.  This is causing our users to make mistakes and thinking that they are the correct website when actually they are not.

What is the expected behavior?
Enterprises require specific behavior and the need to disable the setting on a global level for all users.

What went wrong?
Not sure why Google is pushing this setting out by default when it is not ready for prime time and causing issues with understanding the urls.

for example https://www.domain.com is not the same as https://domain.com for us.  Sorry if that is for your organization but it isn't for us

Did this work before? No

Marcus/Philippe - enterprise customers have reasonable concerns about hiding trivial subdomains + the URL scheme. Can you guys work with Emily to make sure appropriate enterprise controls are introduced?

Just wanted to let you know I am more than happy to test if/when desired.

atwilson@, yes. Re-assigning to emilyschechter@ who is looking into the enterprise control question.
