LocationBar: WebPage is not loaded when written without protocol #2578

Closed SGOrava closed 6 years ago

SGOrava commented 6 years ago

Hello, When i write to location bar some URL without protocol (read without http://) and press ENTER the url is not loaded.

Example of url which is not loaded: github.com www.github.com

Working urls: http://github.com/ http://www.github.com/

Expected behaviour: If the protocol is not specified standard http should be used or it could be alterable by settings to switch between http and https. As for more security https could be used by default in privete mode.

Workaround

Enable option "Enable automatic searching from the address bar". When enabled urls are understood well but unwanted search option is added to address bar.
