I personally prefer it. I don't need to see the http://www http://www before each link, and if I'm just glancing up at the location bar to see where I am, on browsers that do show it, I have to mentally parse that out. On the other hand, when I copy and paste it, that means I intend to DO something with it, like send it to a friend over IM, or email it or something, during which case I want a full, clickable link. Which is exactly what they give me. On the off chance that I want to copy and paste the de-http'd URL, then I am in no better (or worse) shape than I would be with any other browser, in that I have to paste it and strip the 'http://www http://www as I ordinarily would.
