Omitting the http prefix breaks the links (makes them relative) in some contexts, like some blog comments.
I think people should learn about the http prefix anyway. Even our grandmas. To do that, the best we can do is to let it appear in the url bar.
- stanleydrew 17y agoBut we're not talking about removing http:// http:// from actual urls, just from the display in the address bar. I guess you're saying that seeing it in the address bar highlights that it's an important part of an actual url, which is useful for education?
- loup-vaillant 17y agoI do. At least, when untrained people consistently see this prefix, they will be less surprised when they actually have to use it (like when copy-pasting). Or they could ask what this gibberish actually mean.
