User Reviews

Users appreciate Copy Selection as Markdown for its accuracy, flexibility, and reliability in converting selected text to Markdown format. It is used frequently and considered essential by some. However, multiple users have noted the inconvenience of not having an easy toggle for style options like the '>' prefix during copy, requiring navigation to settings instead. Additionally, copying from sources like ChatGPT can yield imperfect results. Overall, it is a powerful and well-regarded tool needing minor usability enhancements.

Pros

Highly accurate and flexible in copying selected text as Markdown.
Reliable and consistent in functionality, doing exactly what it promises.
Used daily by users who find it indispensable.
Well-received by the community, recommended to support via GitHub stars.

Cons

Lacks a quick way to switch between different copy styles (e.g., toggling the '>' prefix) without accessing settings.
Copying from certain sources like ChatGPT may not produce optimal Markdown results yet.
Requires some usability improvements and more options directly accessible during copying.

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.
