Features & Capabilities

AutoCopy is a handy Chrome extension designed to improve your copying experience by automatically copying the selected text only when the mouse button is pressed and held for a specified duration. This unique timing feature ensures accidental copies are minimized while enhancing productivity.

Unlike traditional auto-copy tools, AutoCopy offers a controlled and precise copy function.

Whether you're working on documents, browsing, or coding, AutoCopy optimizes your text selection workflow efficiently.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the add-on's simplicity and visual confirmation when text is automatically copied, finding it effective and reliable in general. However, multiple reviewers report issues with it not working consistently on some websites or in text boxes, and some note that the extension may stop functioning over time, requiring a restart to fix. While it is seen as simple and good, some users suggest better alternatives exist.

Pros

Provides visual confirmation with an 'Auto copy' popup to confirm copying action.
Simple and straightforward to use, working well in most cases.
Generally reliable and effective for automatic copying.
Better alternatives now exist, indicating a niche functionality.

Cons

Fails to automatically copy text on some websites or in certain text boxes.
May stop working after some time and requires disabling and re-enabling to function again.
Does not work consistently, with some users reporting no automatic copying at all.

Recent reviews

I like that it shows the ''Auto copy'' popup when it does its business. This way I stay sure that it really copied what I wanted.

Didn't seem to work for a while; but then I don't know what the definition of a "text box" is.

Is AutoCopy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AutoCopy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

AutoCopy has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
