They are pretty much killing the idea of using regexes to linkify URLs without the scheme in plain text. Given that Chrome has moved to dropping the `http://` http://` from its address bar, and many people already skip it, they are probably going to break a lot of linkification code in comment forms and the like. Sure, people "should" know to type the `http://` http://`, but many people just don't know about that or don't remember, and there's a lot of encouragement not to.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y ago>Given that Chrome has moved to dropping the `http://` http://` from its address bar Uh, if you try to copy it, Chrome prepends the http:// http://. It's only a visual effect, it still pastes full links.
- lambda 14y agoYes, but lots of people simply type links rather than copy-pasting. If you don't see the `http://` http://`, you are less likely to remember to type it.
