in Apache 2.4, can I hide all "paths" from the browsers?

if somebody are on https://example.com/users/list.html it would only say https://example.com in the addressbar, and if someone takes a bookmark, it will also only take https://example.com and not the complete path

Preferably in the apache configuration

This is usually done with a SPA (Single-page application), not on the server side. – AlexD Dec 22 '21 at 12:02
You can't. The server needs a way to distinguish the paths. – Gerald Schneider Dec 22 '21 at 12:02

In addition, it's ***extremely*** bad UI design to do this. I expect to be taken to *that* page when I bookmark something, so this would piss me off as a user, and probably instantly start looking for alternatives. – vidarlo Dec 22 '21 at 12:56
@vidarlo this site isn't for the public – Adam Larsson Dec 22 '21 at 19:44
@AdamLarsson Even internal users probably want bookmarks. – vidarlo Dec 22 '21 at 21:13
@vidarlo not on this server, but I do understand what you're trying referring to... – Adam Larsson Dec 22 '21 at 21:57
