https.llwww, you mean?

It seems that Firefox stopped copying http:// (when I want to copy URL) which is very annoying to me. I need the whole address when copying.
I have the opposite complaint: when I highlight a portion of the url in chrome, it prepends the http:// anyway. If I have the whole thing selected it would make sense to prepend the http://
It doesn’t make sense either way. If I select what is visible only as the domain name, why is some magic text automatically added in front?

I can't reproduce what you say, it doesn't prepends http:// in my case. Are you on Windows?
Yes, on Windows. You do have to select the first part of the url, but I often just want the host and port, ie localhost:8080 instead of http://localhost:8080
This happens to me all the time in MacOS also. Drives me crazy.

Apple used to be the innovator in file metadata. They stopped when Steve came back because proper metadata made it more difficult to share files with Windows and Unix. And we're still stuck with crap metadata to this day.
Given the implementations I've seen of file metadata outside of the extension I'm okay with this - every time OSes (especially windows) tries to strip away the extension it ends up switching the file type from being a description of "what am I" to "what can open me", I really dislike "what can open me" especially when we get into a lot of common office work file formats. Knowing the difference between .rtf, .txt, .do…
Agreed. Apple's pre-OSX metadata system was two pieces: "What am I" and "Who created me." This was an amazingly flexible system that just worked and was the best of both worlds.

> Google must really hate URLs. Honestly, I suspect the motivation is either the Chrome team is too big and people are bored and looking for changes to make, or someone is angling for a promotion and wants to make a very visible change so they can show "impact" when they put together their promotion packet.
The good old Google machine at work. Overengineer and under deliver
Google hates delivery. Just look at how they treat their pregnant employees.

#158URLs represent and identify content,controling them means you control content. In the short term these changes mean little but in the long term this will benefit google immensely. Google just loves slippery slopes. Identity and payment are extremely important to any ordered system of social interaction. More than content itself,controlling them helps one control everything else. I am trying hard to avoid believing co…
> Google just loves slippery slopes. So, you fully admit to making a slippery slope argument?
"Slippery slope arguments are a falacy" is, as an argument, a fallacy.
Re: Chrome hides www and https:// in the address bar again
#159I would have no trouble with hiding " https://" in the address bar, as long they show it for other protocols (including http). It might help move us to a world with https everywhere even faster. I still prefer Firefox: protocol, subdomains and path are greyed out but still clearly legible. This way I can eyeball "on which site am I?" quickly (and read google-secure-payments.google.via.net as via.net for example) and…

Interesting. What OS and Firefox build are you on? Firefox always copies the full URI for me. (Windows, Firefox 69 - and I'm pretty sure I get the same behavior on my Linux machine at home, but I'm at work right now so can't confirm.)
Re: Chrome hides www and https:// in the address bar again
#160I absolutely do not want it to hide any URI schemes or subdomains at all. (I am able to change these settings in Firefox, at least. I could also disable Unicode rendering for the domain name, but to disable Unicode rendering for the filename I had to write an extension.)
FYI you can revert this behavior in chrome://flags
chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme
chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-trivial-subdomains
chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-path-query-and-ref
I just disable all of these.
