Copy Host allows you to copy the hostname of the current tab to your clipboard.
In some cases, browsers prepend https:// to the URL when you try to copy it. I constantly copy URLs from the browser to the shell, and it drives me crazy. To avoid that, I built this simple Chrome extension to get only the hostname of the website you are currently browsing. Also, I made it a lot easier to copy the hostname with just a shortcut key, i.e., Alt + C.
For example, if you try to copy the URL https://www.google.com from the browser and then try to ping using a shell, it doesn't work.
ping www.google.com works perfectly and 'Copy Host' makes it easy to do that.
Copy Host is available on Chrome Web Store. No additional permissions are required to install.
Alt + C can be used to copy the hostname to your clipboard directly.
