Samuele gg (ID: 000000b00bfe818f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/19/2023 Non funziona. Non copia il titolo del link selezionato. It doesn't work. Doesn't copy the title of the selected link.

Pat MySecret (ID: 0000000f565a0b8a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/07/2023 4/7/23 It doesn't work now. Past Review: Love this extension for my news chats. Use it all the time! It will copy only hyperlink text as plain text outside of search pages. On search pages, it helpfully gives the snippet of info and the source..pretty much what you see in your Google searches. I go to Google Search results, right click the link and choose Copy Link Text, then I paste the info in my chat.

Jonathan Woodward (ID: 000000eab2f63a2b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/04/2023 I managed to get CopyLinks to work again by going to: Installed extensions/Copy Link, checking "Allow access to file URLs", and restarting the browser. Can someone else please confirm?

Francesco Perego (ID: 0000009b7069ac61) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 :( this was my to-go extension, I kind of used it 120 times a day. All of a sudden, it stopped working. I guess chrome changed something in how they manage clipboard permission :(
