Plain Text Linker Extension

**This extension won't be maintained further.** I'm shelving this project due to lack of interest/utility and too much burden. The addon will remain available for download as long as the store allows, and the source on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/Marnes-group/webextensions) will also remain available to fork.
**I do have a greasyfork account (https://greasyfork.org/en/users/18593-marnes) and may publish works there in the future.** I have mild intentions to reimplement the core functionality of CSL, IBCP, and DID as public userscripts.

Also available for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/plain-text-linker/

When you double-click on a piece of plain text, Plain Text Linker tries to determine if what you clicked could be a URL and tries to open it.

Please check the linked homepage for more complete information. Issues can be filed on the linked support site.

Bruce Bates (ID: 00000093ed385d3c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/09/2023 Sadly it won't work on links in instagram post descriptions.

Jesse Peden (ID: 0000007c0298530e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/08/2022 I love it. It's very nice for when accessing a list of links from sites like GitHub in raw view, where it's a flat text document. I wish that it would somehow alter the page to underline all links so they stand out more, and if there was a way to single-click the link rather than double-clicking it.
