CatCitizen Citizen (ID: 0000008f93273efd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/18/2023 It still works. Albeit a bit janky. I've noticed you cannot copy paste into certain bars, when this is active. However its ability to highlight lines of text or individual words, works. And that's what you'd be using this for: to augment any text highlighting extension or process you have. Its worth keeping it for productivity in some situations. It even works, when using Copy Fish OCR extensions, Or Project Naptha, for highlighting text in images. Using with Latest Chrome version. 3/17/2023.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/24/2022 Found another I like better. While it will do a great job of copying to clipboards and documents, it does not paste directly back to the internet if you are trying to post something. It also prevented further pasting of anything on the net until I turned it off.
