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.

Extension summary

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.
