Features & Capabilities

Copy As Plain Text is a lightweight Chrome extension designed for users who want to copy text from web pages without retaining any formatting. By simply selecting your desired text and right-clicking, you can choose the "Copy as plain text" option from the context menu, instantly copying the text stripped of any styles, fonts, or links. Additionally, a convenient toolbar button allows you to perform the same action with ease.

Ideal for writers, editors, and anyone needing clean text for documents or emails, this extension eliminates unwanted formatting and saves time that would otherwise be spent on manual cleaning. To paste the copied plain text, use the standard Ctrl + V shortcut or right-click and select "Paste." Bug reports and feedback can be submitted via the extension's homepage.

User Reviews

Users commonly report the add-on works well and unobtrusively via the context menu, stripping formatting so plain text pastes cleanly. At the same time multiple reviewers report reliability problems or total failure, and several note the extension feels old and may lack current maintenance. Multiple users also request extra features and broader platform support (Android, whitespace trimming, copy link text).

Is Copy As Plain Text 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.

Copy As Plain Text requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

High Allows reading and modifying clipboard content, which can be sensitive, posing a moderate privacy risk.

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.

Copy As Plain Text may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
