Mario (ID: 00000098cc147d31) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 Always takes 2 or 3 tries to successfully format the link on the clipboard. Very annoying.

sherpacurt (ID: 000000427ca86e26) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/10/2023 Works great for creating a readable link to a google doc. However you have to use shift-right-click to get the browser's context menu rather than google docs context menu. Update May 2023: No longer working in Chrome on MacOS Ventura. When you try to create an HTML link and paste it into a doc, you get the HTML text for a link, but the not a link object. (eg: Link Text). I use a different plugin on Firefox and it still works, so its not because of the way I'm using it.

T. H. (ID: 0000004233db8cb2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/11/2022 Loved it when it worked. But two or three weeks ago it got disabled by chrome. I re enabled it but since then it has often taken more than one try to put something on the clipboard. Today it doesn't work at all. Happy to change the review if problem is on my end.
