Features & Capabilities

Copy Link Text adds a simple context-menu action to your browser: right-click on any link and choose "Copy Link Text" to copy the visible anchor text to your clipboard. Hold Shift while using the command to copy the link title instead (this option requires the <all_urls> permission). The extension is focused and lightweight—made for users who need quick, context-menu access to link text without extra formatting.

The extension complements other tools like copy-as-markdown or link-formatters and even links to an option for copying image text. Useful for content creators, editors, developers, and researchers who frequently gather link labels or titles, Copy Link Text speeds up workflow by eliminating manual selection and clipboard juggling.

User Reviews

Copy Link Text is a simple Firefox add-on that reliably copies link text when it works, addressing a common need with a minimalist feature set. Many users praise its straightforward approach. However, reliability varies: it can stop working, has site-specific compatibility issues, and may break after updates. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a valued, privacy-conscious solution when functioning correctly.
Pros
  • Does exactly what it promises: copies the text of a link via the context menu.
  • Addresses a common problem by letting you copy link text from links that are hard to select on many sites.
  • Minimal, no-frills functionality that does just the needed task without extra features.
  • Some reviewers highlight privacy-conscious behavior (claims of no data harvesting) when using the extension.
Cons
  • Occasionally stops working or behaves unreliably, requiring reinstall or workaround.
  • Not compatible with all sites (e.g., reports of not working on we.telegram.org).
  • Updates can cause breakage across versions, leading to temporary instability.

Is Copy Link 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 Link 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 Link Text is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
