It's a variant of Firefox. I have never met anyone who uses it so I think we can safely assume its market share is insignificant. -- Regards, John Levine, johnl@taugh.com, Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly
However, if we find this to be a particularly good feature, we could inquire over at Firefox for that code to be merged into their repository. Do we think copying unescaped URLs is a good idea? Initially I think it is. Best, -- Mark W.

The code appears to have diverged a decade ago so they may not be very interested in it.
Do we think copying unescaped URLs is a good idea? Initially I think it is.
Seems like it could be as much confusing as helpful.
Some of this should be covered by the WHATWG URL "Living Standard". They covered displaying URLs for security purposes. https://url.spec.whatwg.org/
