HTML Bookmarks Import removes www from every link
complete
Dave
Many plain URLs redirect to add the www subdomain (e.g. google.com becomes www.google.com). If such a bookmark is imported and opened, the Raindrop.io interface treats it as though not bookmarked, and the Raindrop button will create a duplicate bookmark that has the www.
Reproduced using the Chrome extension, Save Button for Web.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Save https://www.google.com/ to raindrop
- Export bookmarks as html. The exported file correctly has www
- Import the html file. The new bookmark does not have www
- Open the bookmark. The button indicates that it isn't bookmarked

Raindrop removes "wwww." from imported links, causing link failure for some sites.

I have a number of links that fail, when invoked from Raindrop, when the "www." prefix is removed by Raindrop.
I find it necessary to edit each of these entries and re-add the prefix in order for the link to work.
One example is: https://www.instructables.com/id/Diving-Mask-With-Custom-Add-on-Lenses-V20-Made-Usi/
The browser, Google Chrome on Windows, reports back that the site cannot be reached and "instructables.com refused to connect."

Sorry about that. Now we do not strip www in import
