What is Text Snippets?
"Text Snippets" is a convenient Chrome extension that enables users to save and quickly insert their frequently used phrases or templates into any text fields on websites. It's especially effective in fields like customer service, support, and sales where similar responses or explanations are regularly used. Its concept is based on the Inserttext extension which was popular but is no longer functional. Text Snippets is an improved version, offering the same fundamental abilities with added stability.
