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.
Use the toolbar icon to toggle tap-to-copy mode; when active, clicking a link copies instead of navigating.
Optionally use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+R to toggle copy mode quickly.

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.
