That's funny I'd call that opaque not transparent.

I certainly don't like that there are browsers that hide the full URL. That's a key part of safe browsing in my opinion: watching the domain name and the parameters. Like, if the link doesn't point to a domain you trust be careful with it you know? But you can't know that if it's not showing link targets or if the URL is obfuscated

I initially wrote "opaque" and then second guessed myself, got confused, and refused to look up the correct use.
