Install Compare

Select Link Text is a Chrome extension designed to allow users to select and copy link text just as they would regular text, enhancing copying convenience especially on webpages with tricky link text elements. It is a fork of the popular "Select like a Boss" extension by Dzianis Rusak, focusing on smooth user experience.

Please note, this extension does not function on certain pages such as addons.mozilla.org and internal browser pages ("about:" pages) due to limitations in the WebExtensions API. Overall, it offers a simple but valuable improvement to text selection interactions on the web.

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 Link Text 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 Browser Add-ons, 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.

Select Link Text has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
