wtf version of notepad even lets you create clickable hyperlinks in the first place?
My main uses for notepad:
Second clipboard I can paste stuff into without worrying about consequences.
Paste formatted text into notepad and copy it immediately to strip away formatting.
Depending on the browser settings, the content of the URL bar get sent to Google even without hitting enter.
It's just a bad practice and it doesn't really matter which search engine.
It also wouldn't surprise me if browsers send it to the DNS server which is an unencrypted request. But I don't know that.
I just don't paste stuff into networked applications if I don't have to, ok?
You can paste without formatting with ctrl + shift + V
