Copy Link Text for Chrome

Copying links or URLs from any webpage is a walk in the park. One simply selects the strings and copies them to the clipboard. But what do you do when you wish to copy just the text a URL contains? If you are using Chrome as your main browser, the answer is simple, and that is Copy Link Text for Chrome.

This tiny extension allows you to copy any block of text a URL has. In terms of usefulness, the extension simply helps you save time by preventing you from, manually selecting text from a page. Is it worth it? Of course, especially if extracting text from websites is your daily chore.

Copy Link Text is the type of extension that meets a single purpose. If the process is not complex, an interface or settings menu is redundant. In this case, the add-on simply copies a URL-related block of text to the clipboard, so the user cannot perform any tweaks or adjustments.

As for how the action of extracting the text out of a link is executed, that's easy. After you install Copy Link Text, Chrome's context menu will be updated with a new entry, sporting the exact name as the add-on. Because it's activated by the context menu function and works only within the browser, the basic copy-paste action won't be altered at all.

In summary, this compact Chrome extension will come in handy to a handful of users who for any reason copy text segments from web pages. Moving text from one digital paper to another is not a great effort, even without such help, yet this add-on is capable of saving a smidgen of time, provided it falls in the right hands.
