## Description

Fast Hover Copy
The Ultimate Productivity Tool for Power Users and Link Collectors.
Fast Hover Copy is a blazing-fast browser extension designed to eliminate the tedious "Right-Click > Copy Link Address" workflow. Whether you are a researcher, marketer, or developer, this extension allows you to collect dozens of links in seconds with zero friction.

🚀 CORE FEATURES
Instant Hover Copy: Simply hover your mouse over any link and press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C on Mac). The link is instantly grabbed and added to your collection.
Deep Link Detection: Works on complex websites, including those using Shadow DOM, nested elements, and redirects. If it’s a link, Fast Hover Copy will find it.
Smart Deduplication: The extension automatically filters out duplicate links. If you copy a link you already have, it moves to the top of your list.
Audio Feedback: A subtle "pop" sound confirms a successful copy, so you never have to break your focus.

📁 ADVANCED ARCHIVE & BACKUP
Never lose your work again. Fast Hover Copy is equipped with a dual-layer protection system:

Internal History Archive: Automatically saves "snapshots" of your link list into sessions. You can browse back through previous sessions and restore them with a single click.
Auto-Backup to .txt: Set a custom interval, and the extension will automatically download your links as a dated .txt file to your default download folder.
Independent Timers: Customize separate backup intervals for the Internal Archive and the Text File backup (e.g., Archive every 10 mins, Download every 30 mins).

🛠️ BUILT FOR POWER USERS
Persistent Storage: Links and settings are saved to your local drive. They stay there even if you close Firefox or restart your computer.
Real-time Counter: A live badge shows exactly how many links you have collected in your current session.
Max Session Control: Configurable history limits (up to 50 sessions) to keep your extension lightweight and organized.
Modern UI: Sleek, glassmorphic design that feels like a native part of your browser.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
100% Local: No data ever leaves your browser. All links are stored locally on your machine and are never transmitted to any servers.
Manifest V3: Built on the latest, most secure extension standard, fully optimized for the modern Firefox engine.

How to Use:
Open any webpage.
Hover your mouse over a link.
Press Ctrl+C.
Open the extension popup to view, copy-all, or restore previous history sessions!
Step up your productivity. Start copying at the speed of thought with Fast Hover Copy.
