Great! It will append the source url where you got some copied text, so you always know where it came from, if you need to go back and check for more detail

excellent extension, I use it all the time. have been using it for years now, no problems very simple but has many options to customize, you can fine tune it to exactly what you need. VERY sad if Chrome removes it from store!!
