User reviews

Please update, I cannot live without the double click copy, and middle mouseclick paste anymore :)

Love this extension. Almost perfect, the only improvement needed is to not copy extra space at the end of the copied word so like when you paste it into password box, it keeps failing until I realized there was an extra space after the last letter.

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
