A comment on Google Removes http:// from Chrome.

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.

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

Understood, but I hear that that doesn't work on, say, Linux. I don't know who's to blame, nor do I care.

Yeah, except it works fine on Linux. Nothing to do you with your beloved OSX.

I just updated the 41609 with one more way of how it does not work on Linux.

It's Chrome that does this, not OS X.
