## Description

Link Gopher is a powerful Chrome extension designed to extract all hyperlinks from any web page efficiently. It sorts the collected links, removes duplicates, and presents them clearly in a new tab, ready for you to inspect or copy into other applications. Additionally, it extracts embedded referrer-type links and provides a distilled list of unique domain names used across those links, making it a valuable tool for SEO specialists, researchers, and digital marketers.

With an easy-to-use interface, Link Gopher streamlines the process of collecting and analyzing URLs without manual effort. Although compatibility with Firefox Quantum (v57+) requires Link Gopher 2.0 beta1 or later, Chrome users can enjoy full functionality. Comprehensive instructions and support details are available through the extension's official site. Support ongoing development by donating to help improve features and maintain updates.

## Review summary

Users generally praise Link Gopher for reliably extracting links and finding anchors, calling it useful and productivity-enhancing. Repeated complaints request exports that preserve page order and duplicates, report missed dynamic or detailed links, and note UI/access issues (hidden icon, small/invisible popup or broken behavior).

### Pros

- reliably extracts links from webpages (many users praise its extraction capability)
- helps find section/anchor links on long pages (useful for linking to specific page sections)
- well-liked and considered useful/productivity-boosting by multiple reviewers

### Cons

- exported links are sorted A–Z rather than kept in the page's original order and duplicates may be removed (users want a raw, in-order snapshot)
- misses certain links: dynamic/ network-generated links or detailed path links (some see only domain-level URLs)
- UI/access problems: icon or popup can be invisible or the add-on may not work as expected for some users
