I'm afraid I'm in the minority here, but I hate when programs get too "helpful." 
Select text on a web page, right click on the selection, the top of the context menu is "copy," UNLESS the text is a URL, at which point the top of the context menu becomes "Open Link." Therefore, instead of copying the text so that I can paste it into an email/trouble ticket/text chat, I open a new webpage and have to backtrack. I feel like it's not too hard to put that text into an address bar, so I don't see the benefit of "Open Link," but if it has to be there, could it not replace "copy" so my muscle memory doesn't sabotage me?

Just learn the keyboard shortcut Command/Ctrl + C. "Open Link" is pretty redundant in a context menu.
