URL changing while saving it

One thing that I notice some time ago is that what we copy from elsewhere a link, it gets modified to what it seems to be a standard. The same applies when we use the extension button in a browser or the app.

For example: if I go to a page "myfavoritesite.com", when it gets saved it turns into "http://myfavoritesite.com/" (with a slash in the end). This little addition messes with the search inside the app/extension/site. So "http://myfavoritesite.com/" is not recognize as similar to "myfavoritesite.com", also making the feature "Highlight saved pages" not working as expected. It messes with "http/https" and "www" from some sites.

A littel suggestion: allow saving online the pattern "myfavoritesite.com" to improve searching and maybe creating a setting for the user to decide if he/she wants the classic way or the suggested way.

Finally I have to leave here a compliment for the creation of this awesome service. It's very reliable and as soon as I organized my budget, I plan to get the Pro. See ya :)

EDIT: After some interactions, I came to a conclusion that the bug above doesn't happen every time. So my suggestion would help to mitigate this erratic behavior and power up the saved pages detection feature.

EDIT2: The bug also happens the other way. For example: the site has the URL "http://myfavoritesite.com/" (with the slash) and if we'd bookmarked without it ("http://myfavoritesite.com"), the extension detected it as saved (revealed by changing the "Add" button to "Saved" status but not put the ✔ in the icon badge, which forces me to click on it and search for it (cause it doesn't show me right away the search result even if it's recognized as "Saved").
