Works as intended, however, I would highly appreciate if you could remove the necessity of a notification every time a user copies a link. Currently, there are two scenarios: If you have enabled notifications, you receive them each time a link is copied. These notifications cannot be disabled via settings. If you haven't given permission to send notifications, each time a link is copied you see a prompt to enable notifications, which can be quite annoying.

it does work when i click the icon. but when i press ctrl+shift+c, it opens up a who lot of code boxes on the right side of the screen(developer tools panel). is there a way to fix it?
