Copy Host

This extension allows you to copy the hostname of the current tab to your clipboard.

What is Copy Host?

"Copy Host" is a practical Chrome extension made for users who often need to copy URLs. It prevents the automatic addition of 'http://' when copying, providing just the hostname. Users can even use a keyboard shortcut, 'Alt + C', for quick copying. Great for those frequently pasting URLs into shells.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Chrome in some cases, prepend http:// to the url when you try to copy. I constantly copy URL from the browser to the shell and it makes me crazy. To avoid that, I built this very basic chrome extension to get only the hostname of the current tab.

Alt + C can be used as a keyboard shortcut to copy the hostname to your clipboard directly.

If anyone is looking for an extension to replace the old HostCopy chrome extension from the early 2010s, this one can't be beat.

This is GREAT! I continually have to correct the field in our internal database that contains our clients' websites that is entered by all of our employees. I have to remove the extraneous characters in HTTP://www.blah-blah-blah.com/blah-blah-blah/blah-blah-blah/ so it will look correct in our dealer locator. Now I can get to www.blah-blah-blah.com without having to click and drag to select. Awesome!
