Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When user wants to share link, they usually copy URL from address bar.
This brings UX issue when resource was loaded from local IPFS node running on user's machine.
Describe the solution you'd like
While we have a menu option for copying a shareadble link (#857), many users copy URL from location bar, which has
*.localhost:8080
host instead of a publicly aavailable gateway.Describe alternatives you've considered
Improving menu item label is tracked in #857 but does not solve the problem of user copying URL from address bar.
