Disable links. Extension

This extension is deprecated - Chrome has a built-in feature for this, just holding Alt while selecting prevents the link from being clicked. You can safely remove it.

Previous description:
This extension disables links when you hold Ctrl+Alt. This allows to select text from the middle of the link, and generally eases selection, eliminating the risk to click the link while copying it.
