2022-12-12 | Morteza Tourani | Absolute gem and very useful. I spent some time testing a few extensions like this and this is the only one which delivers what it promised and works everywhere I need it. | ||
2022-09-08 | Jesse Peden | I love it. It's very nice for when accessing a list of links from sites like GitHub in raw view, where it's a flat text document. I wish that it would somehow alter the page to underline all links so they stand out more, and if there was a way to single-click the link rather than double-clicking it. | ||

2021-08-18 | i krg | With browsers I often use mouse doubleclick for many reasons, e.g. to translate words. "Plain Text Linker" obviously makes nof difference between likely and unlikelely links. It even opens some single words as URI in a new tab. This should not happen. For example it tried to open the german word "begonnen" as URL (opening new tab, converting "begonnen." to "https://begonnen./". Note that "https://begonnen." is not even a complete domain! ( this happens quite often and is annoying. For this special case doubleclick "begonnen." at https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Taliban-treffen-sich-mit-Ex-Praesident-Karsai-article22750896.html ) This can be far better as you can see with Firefox and it's addon "Text Link" by ""Piro" Hiroshi". I had to disable this Chrome extension. | ||
