Comment (by dcf): I would guess that this is partially a Trac issue. It's what arma said in comment:12. Trac puts a little icon in front of external links, and the icon is actually a `span` element that contains a zero-width space ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space U+200B]). It's the presence of this invisible character that makes the browser go to a search engine. If you copy the link and are very careful not to include the icon when you highlight, then it will work and not go to a search engine. Also if you right-click and Copy Link Location. Try copying a link and pasting it into a Vim buffer. Vim will make the zero-width space visible and color it blue: {{{#!html <code><span style="color: blue;"><200b></span>http://ozmh2zkwx5cjuzopui64csb5ertcooi5vya6c2gm4e3vcvf2c2qvjiyd.onion</code> }}} The same thing happens with non-onion links, like the one Dbryrtfbcbhgf posted in comment:13. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23686#comment:14> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
