Urls which end with - (hyphen) are linkified without the hyphen.
The logic of linkification is here: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/netwerk/streamconv/converters/mozTXTToHTMLConv.cpp#237 (bool mozTXTToHTMLConv::FindURLEnd).

I am wondering if I can copy Markdown version URL by this extension, it looks like this: Github.

Am I doing something wrong or it doesn't work this way?
I mean, I got a link from RU Wikipedia for example and it still show as punylinks when directly copied from Omnibox.

Example URL: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница

Copying with a trailing space on Firefox works fine, but not anymore for Chrome. That's why I'm using this extension.

Is is meant to copy and decode links only within a webpage or can it be done via Omnibox too? That would be much more clever if you could copy directly from Omnibox without encoding.
That's the whole point of this extension... Right?
Or does it work only inside web pages?

Can the Omnibox feature be added, if possible?

Please advise.

Hi,
Any chance to have "Copy Unicode URL" for Firefox as well?
I'm annoyed by those percent-encoded URLs. Happens all the time, even with URLs that contain only Latin characters.

A simple "Copy URL (Decoded)" in the right-click menu would be nice.

Thanks ion advance,
Eric

For example, I copy
https://www.baidu.com/s?word=%E7%91%9E%E5%85%B8%20%E5%8C%97%E7%BA%A6, it becomes
https://www.baidu.com/s?word=瑞典%20北约, but it should be https://www.baidu.com/s?word=瑞典 北约

With version 0.0.3 (Chrome Web Store)

Also disappeared from context menu.

I click right mouse button over some link and select from appeared menu: „Copy Unicode URL”. Then I past by mouse-menu or CtrlV anywhere but it would be something that I copied before like from CtrlC.

It worked a time ago but it was stopped.

1. This bug makes it hard or impossible to interact with browser clipboard from extension: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1160302.

Because Chinese mainland can not visit Google application store website, can you provide a CRX files for installation?
Or how to generate a CRX file?
Thanks.

It's been a while since last update, but maybe you can add an option to place "Ю" icon in Firefox address bar?

Please add locale support for translating to other languages.

edge version 114.0.1823.67

You mention that on Firefox browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy can be prefered in some situations.

While this is true, you could also specify that the extension has certain advantages (well, changes in behaviour, technically) over browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy.

I think that you can mention that browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy, for example, doesn't convert spaces to %20.

That means that the copied text won't be treated as a link by many text preprocessors (Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Markdown, and so on).

This is a selling point for me.

Also, curiously, Firefox Android doesn't have access to about:config and in Firefox Android Nightly browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy doesn't work.

This is also a selling point for me.

You may want to mention that the extension has some of these benefits over browser.urlbar.decodeURLsOnCopy.

Thanks for the extension!
