Link With Context Extension

Link With Context lets you provide some context for the links you share. This is done in 1 of 2 ways:

PLEASE NOTE: After initially installing Link With Context, it will not work on any currently open tabs until they are refreshed.

Copying a link outright: Using Link With Context when you copy a link, what is actually copied is text in the form ' \"text of link\" - '. Ultra useful for sharing reddit links that only make sense if the title is included as well! (and the inspiration for this extensions).

Highlighting text: Using Links With Context on highlighted text, what is actually coped is text in the form ' \"highlighted text\" - '. This will work with any text - you could highlight the whole page and still get a working Link With Context.

There is however a limit to how much text can be copied at a time, and therefore only the first 7500 characters of the highlighted/link text will be included.

All new tabs will work correctly." Over and over and over. After refreshing, after restarting, after opening new tabs. Uninstalled.
