ClipIt - A Text Clipping Chrome Extension

ClipIt is a Chrome extension engineered for the efficient clipping and saving of text from any webpage. Once the desired text has been selected and the ClipIt option chosen through the right-click menu, the text gets stored in a clipboard popup that is easily accessible from the browser's top right. Users can view, manage, and even export their notes to a text file via the 'Export Notes' feature. The clipboard can also be cleared through the 'Clear Notes' option, allowing users to start afresh at their convenience.

User reviews

No Support page to post this bug: Using "Export Notes" into a text file in the Downloads folder worrks great but, somewhere in the code Google Drive is removed from the Directory Tree in the left pane of the Chrome File Manager. Requires sign-out and sign-in to restore it.
