## Description

**Fast Copy Links** is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline how you copy links. Simply hover your cursor over any link on a webpage and press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on MacOS) to instantly copy the URL without needing to right-click or perform multiple actions. 

The extension also features a convenient menu where you can view and manage all previously copied links, making it easier to keep track of multiple URLs during browsing sessions. It requires permission to access website data to detect key presses and determine which link is under your cursor. Note that it does not work on Mozilla add-ons sites and some specific domains.

With Fast Copy Links, copying URLs is faster and more efficient, perfect for users who frequently gather web links.

## Review summary

Users consistently praise Fast Copy Links as a fast, simple, and reliable way to copy links that saves time. Repeated complaints focus on the audible copy sound (lack of mute/volume control), interference with normal text copying (Ctrl+C conflicts), and a desire for more settings such as site‑specific enable/disable or configurable shortcuts.

### Pros

- Very fast and productive — saves users a lot of time copying links.
- Simple and reliable — does exactly what it promises (hover/one‑click link copying).
- Widely recommended by users; many praise its usefulness and reliability.

### Cons

- Sound effect is intrusive for several users and there's no option to mute or change volume.
- Interferes with normal text copying from links (conflicts with regular Ctrl+C); users want a configurable modifier or behavior.
- Limited per‑site or toggle controls — users want options to restrict the extension or disable it in certain contexts.
