Clickable Links Extension

Clickable Links is a Chrome extension that solves the common problem of unclickable URLs on certain websites by automatically converting them into clickable links.

The extension supports various URI schemes such as http://, https://, ftp://, file://, magnet: and email addresses, making them accessible with a single click. This eliminates the need to copy and paste links, thus saving you time.

Also works with incomplete urls where the \"http://\"-part isn't included.

To try out the extension, visit this page for some examples: https://www.laurentvw.com/project/clickable-links

New since v2.7:
- Several bug fixes related to url matching
- Added support for file:// and magnet: uri schemes
- Options: An option to allow links to be opened in a new tab
