Copy Host 
Copy Host allows you to copy hostname of the current tab to your clipboard.
Why?
Chrome in some cases, prepend http:// to the URL when you try to copy. I constantly copy URL from the browser to shell and it makes me crazy.
To avoid that, I built this very simple Chrome extension to get only the hostname of the website you are currently browsing. Also, 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 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.
Installation
Copy Host is available on Chrome Web Store. No additional permissions are required to install.
Keyboard Shortcut
Alt + C can be used to copy the hostname to your clipboard directly.
