Brenda Posh (ID: 0000001724d0d40f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/25/2023 I really like using this extension and I use it daily. I'm always copying web text to put into emails or documents. Before finding this app, I had to copy and put into notepad and recopy from notepad to be able to have unformatted text. This makes the process so much more simple. It works. Thanks
