Display unescaped URLs in the Chrome address bar

Question

I have whitespaces in some local files. Is there a possibility, for example an addon, to change the way the URLs of such files are represented in Chrome’s address bar?

For example instead of

file:///C:/Javascript/MDN%20→%20Destructuring%20Assignment%20(Doc).html

I would prefer to see

file:///C:/Javascript/MDN → Destructuring Assignment (Doc).html

Of course, when I copy the URL I want the escaping to stay.

Firefox does it this way.

No. Chrome extensions do not have any control over the way URLs are displayed in the address bar.
