Honestly. I do NOT know how to use this and it is kinda hard. Except, it does look pretty cool so I will give it 3 stars.
by Kingsley Lin, 2024-09-24

I'm giving five stars because I've been using this extension on Chrome for a long time, often multiple times per day, and it's super-useful for me. However, I hope the developer will respond to several user comments that for a while now it sometimes requires several attempts to create a link. It may be because I have a huge number of tabs open. This Chrome extension also works with Edge. The Edge extension by the same name but made by a different developer works OK but it can only make an HTML link, not the other options that this Chrome extension offers like plain text, which is the option I usually use.
