You can switch the mode on the fly by holding the CTRL key while clicking on the "Copy icon".

example:
if your location bar contains http://tinyurl.com/1 and the Real page URL is http://www.somesite.com/
using the "default settings" Clicking on the "Copy" icon will give you "http://tinyurl.com/1" but
if you hold the CTRL key Clicking on the "Copy" icon will give you "http://www.somesite.com/"

Tip:
You can change the default mode using the settings dialog.

8- Hold the CTRL key while clicking on the "Tag page with these words" context menu item to Tag the page with the selected text without splitting it.

9- Search panel:
typing "~site" at the end of the search query will tell the extension not to add "site:" prefix to the host name,so you can perform search queries like:
related:example.com

Note:
if you are using "Redirect Remover" extension then add this filter to its white list,
http://*/index.php?*=ahr0c
OR
http://*.*=ahr0c

this will tell "Redirect Remover" not to rewrite proxified links.
