Description

The "Excerpt with Link" extension copies selected text and the associated webpage link (URL) to the clipboard. This provides a quick and simple way to cite website text. Select desired text, then open the context menu and select "Excerpt with Link" from the menu. You can normally open the context menu by right-clicking. Please let me know of any issues you experience before writing a review -- I'm happy to continue to improve the solution. The extension is provided 'As-Is' without any express or implied warranty of any kind. Note that I do not collect any information from the extension -- all handling is done at your local browser. I hope you find this extension to be helpful. Cheers, /Scott (The extension icon has been designed using resources from Flaticon.com) --- Updates: v1.4: Updated to comply with Chrome manifest v3 v1.3: Improved text copy (selected text wasn't always copied for some websites). v1.2: Improved memory utilization (background script is non-persistent).
