It works! Like others, I would like to have a keyboard shortcut for it (shift-ctrl-C maybe?). Ideally, it would be nice if it could (in the browser, not any other context) usurp the normal ctrl-C (or cmd-C on a Mac) operation to and copy without formatting by default, then require a different code like shift-ctrl-C to copy with formatting, since copying with formatting is nearly never actually wanted, but might be in some specialized context. But I can't take away a star for the extension not having a new feature I wish it had. For the feature it is advertised as providing, it provides it perfectly.
