THIS ONE REALLY WORKS!

Installation & Onboarding

On install or update, the extension opens the Options page for onboarding and settings.
The Options page includes instructions, persistent mode toggle, privacy policy, and uninstall option.
Responsive design ensures usability on desktop and mobile devices.

How to Use

Desktop

Right-click on any link and select "Copy Link Anchor Text" to copy immediately.

Android

Activate the extension from the Firefox Extensions menu.
With copy mode enabled, simply tap a link; its anchor text is copied instead of opening the link.
Persistent mode can be enabled in Options to keep copy mode ON until you turn it off.

Is Copy Link Anchor 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 Anchor Text requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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