Since the OS X pasteboard is clever enough to add http:// back in when copying the url from the location bar, this actually works pretty well on my Mac. I like it too. I can see how it'd be intensely frustrating if the pasteboard doesn't work, though.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The full url with http:// is added to the clipboard when you copy.
Only if you copy the entire link. If you try and extract a subsection like a directory, by either dragging across, or by shift unselect, it will not copy the ' http:// . A fringe case? Maybe, but I've already run into this pain a few times jumping back and forth from chrome to emacs.

The addition of ' http:// is made by Chrome itself, not OSX.

"upset" is not the consideration. There is potential for functional confusion, with a basic function, where none existed before.

Good move, but they need a new way of showing https or a broken https site.
For me at least it's a lot harder to memorize the meaning of a 16x16 pixel image than a four-character string.
Also, we have exactly the same problem that Google's having with this, which is that it's difficult to copy/paste, to speak nothing of entering in a url you have written down.
> Since 99.999% of the people only ever encounter http:// , ftp://, and https:// (did I forget any?), why not create a standard set of easy-to-understand icons to replace them, in cooperation with other browser makers?
