To me, a URL serves an important purpose: it is the unique address of your online presence. Compare that to the unique address of your physical presence, your home address. Bookmarks (aka favorites) were created so that the average computer user does not need to remember online addresses.</p> Most web browsers do not need http:// prior the URL.
