Bug Description

Often beta testers complain about the fact that they have always to strip the "edge" prefix every time they want to copy and paste the url of a page. Having a "Copy standard url" button (or something like this) on the top of the page would help to solve the problem.

I think that also an another button to directly go to the non-edge page (maybe without disabling redirect for 2 hours) would help people who want, for example, make a screenshot.

Another way to fix this problem would be for both the beta and production versions of the site to be served from the launchpad.net hostname, not from edge.launchpad.net, using a toggle in the header or footer of every page. (The toggle could use a cookie that persisted even after logout, so as to let beta testers test the logged-out versions of pages too.)

Marked as ui, even though Matthew's suggestion is a bit more than ui.

We are removing the edge domain (partly because of issues like this) and so the problem is irrelevant. Right now the domain still exists, but the redirect to it for beta users has been removed.
