> Yep, surely that is on par with GNOME3 removing the ability to change the
font size, or minimize windows or getting rid of the task bar.

1) You can still change the font size
2) You can re enable that feature
3) There is an extension available for that

> Sounds like a bug more than an intentional design change. Never experienced it here though.

He probably means the hiding of the "http" and adding it to the pasted url even though it wasn't part of the copied url.

> Easily disabled ...

So now changing options is acceptable? (see the 3 points above).

Not the same as opening a preferences dialog.
