EZ Carnivore (ID: 0000000902925efb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2019 Been using it for a while now, saves a lot of time not having to copy more than I need and instead I just hold Alt and select the text I want. Thanks for the awesome extension!

Jan Naturlih (ID: 00000089c0c4cbe7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/10/2018 A sign of good code is its longevity. The last time the expansion was updated in 2014. It's now 2018 and it's still working. To highlight the link with the mouse, you need to hold down the ALT key. This is written in the description.
