Opens plain text URLs when you double-click on them.

Install Compare

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.
