How to remove http:// adding in addressbar of google-chrome/firefox?
Bit of a hack as well, however I simply click in the toolbar, press the Home key, press Space, then press Shift+End and Ctrl+C.
So basically, just add a space to the start. Most commands don't even care if you keep the space in the parameters.
If you want Firefox to permanently show http
in the adress bar:
- go to
about:config
- search for the option
browser.urlbar.trimURLs
- set it to
false
I don't use Chrome, but there is this question: Make chrome put http:// in the browser
I use the following javascript snippet in Google Chrome to get the hostname and copy it to clipboard. I just tested it in Google Chrome.
You can create a bookmark int the Bookmarks Bar, name it GetHostname
and paste the following javascript code into the "URL" part of the bookmark:
javascript:(function(){
function executeCopy(text) {
var input = document.createElement('textarea');
document.body.appendChild(input);
input.value = text;
input.select();
document.execCommand('Copy');
input.remove();
}
executeCopy(window.location.hostname);
})();
