@emil in X11/Xorg there are two "clipboards":
The "primary selection": Selected text gets immediately copied, paste with middle button or Shift+Insert.
The "clipboard": Copy with Ctrl+C, paste with Ctrl+V. Many programs also store the content in the primary selection even if not selected.
I mostly use the primary selection because it is faster. Specially, middle clicking the [X] next to the URL, directly opens the URL in the primary selection.
