Apostrophe Extension

Apostrophe allows you to copy curly quotation marks to your clipboard without having to memorise arcane shortcuts (MacOS) or four-digit codes (Windows).

The extension is built with privacy in mind. It does not have access to your browser tabs; it does not even read what’s stored in the system clipboard. It only writes to it when you select one of the eight symbols:

Left single quote
Right single quote (curly apostrophe)
Left double quote
Right double quote
Left guilllemet
Right guillemet
En-dash
Em-dash

Apostrophe is open source software (MIT license).
