it is not showing the notification and when it does, is delayed and then slows down chrome. Every time I copy text it slows down and the pop-up says "Auto Copy extension has been updated. The page needs to be reloaded in order for it to work." I have rebooted chrome, hence pages "reloaded"  Also, highlighting or double clicking text does not copy. Used to love it and hope this can be fixed

I don't know how this even has 3 stars. I have tried it several times over the last year. It has never worked once. Never "auto copied" a single word. It seems many others are having the same problem. It should be removed from the store until the developer can prove that it actually does something close to what it claims to do.

there's something wrong with this addon, it acts wonky and keeps saying to reload the page, but even after reloading it keeps asking to reload again. It doesn't always copy text when it should, it's broken

Want to cite and annotate my copied text along with the URL in which it came. The liteness of this Chrome extension was at first alluring but...

★★☆☆☆2016-08-14

Whatever the copied texts, it pasted as a single cell. :(

Worked for a while. Then one day it stopped working and I'm tired of it's finicky nature. It's ridiculous how it purports to do something so simple yet doesn't do it often. Btw, I didn't have any of the spiffy features on, just the basic function.

Good idea, but none of the options worked with my browser, too bad.

Despite setting the option to copy URLs, this doesn't work which, in my opinion, is the main reason to have this.

Works 1/25 of the time. And when it doesn't work, Copy doesn't work at all the regular way even.

I think I'd love this extension if it actually worked. I'm guessing it needs to be updated. Hopefully it will be, at some point.

When this extension was working it was good but over the past few versions of Chrome it stopped working. I was hoping for a resolution but one hasn't come. The author's page has a link to submit bugs but that is broken. :(
