gollark: *Slightly*, not significantly.
gollark: Yes, I saw, but hardcoding the TLD list is inelegant, means you end up being slightly worse for your user's internet connection (if this runs on the client), and is prone to issues if the list updates.
gollark: Maybe `<link>`.
gollark: Personally I would just require that users either specify `https://` at the start, or put it in some sort of "tag" which indicates it's a link.
