What is EZ Copy Plaintext?

EZ Copy Plaintext is a Chrome extension designed to streamline your copying tasks. It automatically de-formats your text, retaining only plaintext whenever you use the regular copy command (Ctrl+c). However, if you wish to keep the formatting, you can do so by right-clicking your selected text and choosing 'Get format next copy'. After your next copy-where formatting is preserved-the extension resets to default, removing formatting again. This mechanism makes your copying process both simple and efficient. Note: A refresh or new tab is needed for the extension to activate on previously opened pages.
