还可以，距离完美就差一些自定义内容，比如按住CTRL键启用，还有拖拽功能开关（有时候不需要拖拽功能）

Very nice extension! I just wish content.js would be commented out as it is giving out unnecessary logs to work! ``` const Ie = { matches: ["<all_urls>"], async main() { const e = await Le.getItem("isActivated"); console.log(e), (e === !0 || e === null) && Ne() } }; ```

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Select like a Boss - Select all kinds of text by dragging ↔ requires very minimum permissions.
