Features & Capabilities

Plain Text Linker is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to open plain text URLs with a simple double-click. It intelligently detects if the clicked text is a URL and opens it accordingly. For added control, users can enable shift-doubleclick to open links, preventing accidental navigation.

Users can customize whether links open in the foreground or background, with the Ctrl key temporarily reversing this selection. Although development has been shelved, the extension remains available for download and offers useful features for quick navigation of plain text links within any web page. The source code is also publicly accessible for those interested in modification or forking.

Is Plain Text Linker Safe?

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.

Plain Text Linker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Plain Text Linker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
