What is Disable links.?

'Disable links' is a user-friendly Chrome extension that lets you temporarily disable links by holding down Ctrl+Alt. With this extension, users can easily select and copy text from the middle of a hyperlink without disturbing their workflow by unintentionally clicking the link. Even though this function is now built into Chrome, the extension remains a handy tool for those who prefer the Ctrl+Alt combination for this task. Note that this extension is no longer updated, due to Chrome's built-in feature serving the same purpose.
