Extension summary

This extension allows you to select and copy part of the rendered HTML document's text to the clipboard.

In general, selecting and copying text on a webpage is hard because it is structured in an HTML format with nested elements. This addon lets you overcome this issue by capturing the underlying text behind the HTML document. When the addon is active, you can select any section of the page and copy the resulting text to the clipboard via the copy button at the top-right corner of the page popup. The toolbar button has a red color when the addon is active and a grey color in the inactive state. If you right-click on the toolbar button, there are two select methods to choose from. Try to see which one works best for you.

Note: reloading or scrolling the page inactivates the addon. Please press the toolbar button again to activate it.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/select-copy-html-text.html).

Copies what you can see in the current screen, cannot select multipage text because it does not scroll the page when you drag ot the bottom of the screen. Removed from chrome as select-scrollable-text is a must.

Searched all throughout the store to finally find what I was looking for by using this extension. Turning it on allows you to select text from any website that isn't selectable, unlike other extensions that claim you can. Only reason for no fifth star is because instructions would have made it a lot easier to use right away, I had to figure it out first.
