Chrome hides www and https:// in the address bar again

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://

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 is so minor but it slows me down working every day. If I didn't select it, don't copy it. If I clicked in the center on a specific spot, drop the cursor right there instead of selecting a section.

This happens to me all the time in MacOS also. Drives me crazy.

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?
