User reviews

Users appreciated the Copy Link extension for its simple and effective functionality in copying link texts as plain text, with some enjoying its support for formatted text and usability on various browsers. However, many users recently report that it often stops working altogether, sometimes copying 'undefined' or no text, especially after browser or OS updates. Others mentioned difficulty finding the extension icon or needing to adjust permissions and restart browsers to regain functionality. The extension lacks comprehensive context menu options and sometimes truncates copied text, leading to user frustration and calls for updates or fixes.

Pros

Previously reliable and useful for copying link text, especially on news chats and search pages.
Simple and straightforward to use for copying hyperlink text as plain text.
Some users experienced successful functionality after updating permissions and restarting the browser.
Works well on certain browsers and operating systems, such as Windows 7 and Vivaldi (Chromium-based).
Supports copying formatted text with line breaks preserved.

Cons

Recently stopped working for many users, with the extension failing to copy link text to the clipboard.
Inconsistency in functionality across different websites; sometimes copies 'undefined' or nothing at all.
Requires manual permission adjustments and browser restarts to function, which is not intuitive for all users.
Output issues such as truncated or incomplete copied link texts reported.
The extension icon is hard to find, especially with dark themes, and lacks right-click context menu options in some browsers.

(EN) Still working for me, but not on every site. Most texts are copied successfully. Some texts are copied as "undefined" (and stating so in the message box). Some link texts are not copied (with no message box appearing at all). I had to specifically allow (new) permissions in addon settings as well as restart the browser for it to work. (DE) Funktioniert immer noch bei mir, nur nicht auf jeder Seite. Die meisten Texte kopiert es erfolgreich. Einige Texte werden als "undefined" kopiert (und benennen es auch so in der Message-Box). Einige Linktexte werden nicht kopiert (es erscheint dann auch gar keine Message-Box). Ich musste explizit (neue) Berechtigungen in den Addon-Einstellungen aktivieren sowie den Browser neu starten damit es funktioniert.

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.

Copy Link requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
