Chromehead Extension

I wrote this extension to support me as a Wowhead Guide Writer and SimulationCraft developer in the World of Warcraft community. It adds a right-click context menu entry with functions that work on any Wowhead link (including on third party sites like Raidbots, HeroDamage, etc).

Features:
- Copy Wowhead Markup (used by guide writers)
- Copy SimC Input String (slot is not included though)
- Copy ID only

Maybe this helps you be more productive too.
