Does the hiding of 'http://www really bother you? I remember it bothering me, until the first time I copy / pasted the URL and it is there in the pasted output.
But the upsetting part is the attitude of the Chrome Team, who says "if you don't like it just use another browser".
Well, there are lots of things I like about Chrome; this seems too small a detail to stop using it. An option buried somewhere would make me completely happy.
"Too many user choices are bad", certainly; but advanced options are a different thing from decisions every user would have to make.
For now the only possibility is to download the source, set a boolean somewhere in the code, and compile your own version. How crazy is that?
Developers often have to make a choice, and this is one of those times. You may not like it, but I don't blame them.
On the other hand, when I copy and paste it, that means I intend to DO something with it, like send it to a friend over IM, or email it or something, during which case I want a full, clickable link. Which is exactly what they give me.
On the off chance that I want to copy and paste the de-http'd URL, then I am in no better (or worse) shape than I would be with any other browser, in that I have to paste it and strip the 'http://www as I ordinarily would.
