Been using this one for ages and it has never let me down. Thank you for you great work.

This extension provides a sorely needed feature and has always served me very well. People having trouble with it probably just tried it before reloading the page-- the option to copy link name shows up as soon as you install it, but if you try to use it in a page that was already opened before the extension was installed, you will get the "undefined" text instead. If you reload the page or try it on a new one, it works as expected.
