William Lambton (ID: 000000418eac1eed) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/01/2022 A most useful extension, in Firefox as well as Chrome. I needed it to see clearly the destination URL of links included in Facebook posts. Right-clicking the link gives the option "copy link address". However, that address is to an intermediary Facebook location, the correct destination address appearing at the bottom of the browser page, in the status bar, but in an uncopiable state. This valuable extension gets round that and, via the right-click context menu, copies the true destination URL as plain text. Most valuable. Thank you, Danylo.
