How do I copy an unencoded URL from my browser?
Whenever I copy and paste URLs from my browser, they end up being percent-encoded and completely unreadable.
For example, the homepage URL of the Japanese version of Wikipedia, https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メインページ, becomes this monstrosity:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8
This happens even though the clean version of the URL displays in the browser's address bar.
Is there a quick and easy way to stop this from happening? I'm mostly interested in Edge and Firefox but solutions for other browsers would be appreciated.
