Values

true (default)
If the active url is exactly the domain name, the trailing slash (/) behind the top level domain will be hidden. If the address starts with http:// and neither starts with a ftp. subdomain nor contains @ (usually for ftp login information), the http:// prefix will be hidden.

Examples: https://www.example.org/ becomes https://www.example.org, http://www.example.org/foobar becomes www.example.org/foobar and http://ftp.example.org/foobar remains unchanged.
false
All parts of the url are shown.
