Description
This extension allows you to select and copy part of the rendered HTML document's text to the clipboard.
In general, selecting and copying text on a webpage is hard because it is structured in an HTML format with nested elements. This addon lets you overcome this issue by capturing the underlying text behind the HTML document. When the addon is active, you can select any section of the page and copy the resulting text to the clipboard via the copy button at the top-right corner of the page popup. The toolbar button has a red color when the addon is active and a grey color in the inactive state. If you right-click on the toolbar button, there are two select methods to choose from. Try to see which one works best for you.
Note: reloading or scrolling the page inactivates the addon. Please press the toolbar button again to activate it.
If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill out the bug report form on the add-on's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/select-copy-html-text.html).

Probably works fine somewhere, but for my use case none of the methods worked properly sadly... For your reference, the site was - electude And the text can be copied only through developer tools by finding it in different blocks

Copies what you can see in the current screen, cannot select multipage text because it does not scroll the page when you drag ot the bottom of the screen. Removed from chrome as select-scrollable-text is a must.
