URL Detector for Safari 4+

Description
Unfortunately, Safari only detects URLs that start with "http://" or "https://". This is the reason why Safari does not show any options in the context menu for the text "apple.com". Whenever URLs deviate from the specification, Safari has problems detecting them (for example, if they contain whitespaces, typos, or incorrect schemes). URL Detector fixes this problem by showing Safari's missing options even for hard-to-detect URLs.
All features:
- Detect URLs without a scheme
- Detect URLs with an incorrect scheme
- Detect URLs with whitespaces
- Detect URLs with IPv4
- Insecure HTTP will be automatically converted to secure HTTPS
- Show warnings when Safari does mistakes
- Check the availability of servers before loading URLs
- Copy URLs from all open tabs in Safari
Test all the features above on this website: https://apps.sannewald.com/url-detector/features.html.
