## Description

<strong>Tel-Linker US</strong> converts static US phone numbers into interactive <strong>tel: URI links</strong>, allowing you to choose exactly how you want to place your calls.

Designed for speed and privacy, this lightweight extension scans web pages to identify US-style phone numbers and automatically wraps them in the standard <code>tel:</code> protocol. This ensures a seamless handoff to your preferred communication tools without the need for manual copying and pasting.

<strong>Key Features</strong>

<strong>Customizable Calling:</strong> Whether you use your device's pre-installed phone app, a specialized VoIP service, or a desktop communication suite, Tel-Linker respects your global system defaults.

<strong>Mobile Optimized:</strong> Built specifically for <strong>Firefox for Android</strong> users who want to trigger their preferred dialer instantly from any website.

<strong>Desktop Ready:</strong> Works seamlessly on desktop browsers by launching your primary calling application—such as <strong>Windows Phone Link</strong>, <strong>FaceTime</strong>, or 
<strong>WhatsApp</strong> the moment you click a number.

<strong>Privacy-Focused:</strong> All detection and link conversion happens locally on your device. Your browsing data and phone numbers are never sent to a server.

<strong>How it Works</strong>

Once installed, the extension runs in the background. When it detects a US-formatted phone number, it transforms the text into a clickable link. Clicking that link tells your operating system to open its <strong>default "tel" handler</strong>, giving you full control over which app completes the call.
