Samuele gg (ID: 000000b00bfe818f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 Funziona perfettamente per la funzione che ricercavo, ne ho provate tantissime, ho sfogliato per qualche ora il playstore, mi stavo arrendendo e alla fine sono riuscito a trovarti. Presente nel menù contestuale destro del mouse l'opzione per copiare, semplicemente, solo il titolo di un link in clipboard (senza markdown e senza dover selezionare il testo). Ottima visibilità dell'icona nella barra dell'estensioni, soprattutto per chi, come me, utilizza temi scuri. I tried so many, spent hours browsing the Play Store, and was about to give up when I found you, but it works exactly for the purpose I was seeking for. There is an option to just copy a link's title to the clipboard (without using markdown or selecting the text) in the right mouse context menu. Excellent icon visibility in the extensions bar, especially for dark theme users like me.
