Description

Clickable Links is a Chrome extension that solves the common problem of unclickable URLs on certain websites by automatically converting them into clickable links. The extension supports various URI schemes such as http://, https://, ftp://, file://, magnet: and email addresses, making them accessible with a single click. This eliminates the need to copy and paste links, thus saving you time. Also works with incomplete urls where the "http://"-part isn't included. To try out the extension, visit this page for some examples: https://www.laurentvw.com/project/clickable-links New since v2.7: - Several bug fixes related to url matching - Added support for file:// and magnet: uri schemes - Options: An option to allow links to be opened in a new tab

It doesn't work. It says it has access to the website but nothing changes and links are not clickable. There's no options or settings to check or tweak.

It turns the text of hypertext links into http links, breaking normal functionality. Removed.

When i enable this app, i see a lot of ads now. I can't even search properly in Google because of this extension.

does not what it's supposed to do. A lot of links are recognized only halfway through, a lot of normal text containing dots is mistakenly being marked as url.

with the lack of updates, most of the links now cant be detected properly.

Doesn't work at all with Salesflare, which it was actually intended for.

It would be a really useful extension if it worked but the majority of the links I try to click on remain unclickable.

Causes Podio website to stop working. (Side menu doesn't slide out, app buttons are gone and search doesn't work). Took quite a while to narrow it down to this extension. Sad times. :(

This extension works alright for short/simple links. Anything long or complicated gets cut off. For instance, the following link: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/07/24/sdcc-sherlock-series-4-teaser-and-a-new-holmes-brother cuts off most of the link and renders only the following 'clickable': http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/07/24/s This happens with 80% of the non-hyperlinked links in my browser, rending the extension nearly useless.

Doesn't work (tested on some JSON API - does not make URLs in JSON responses clicable).

This is just the 'Linkify Plus' Greasemonkey script made available in the Chrome Store. I don't have a fix for the 'blah...blah' problem, but it's easy enough to ignore those links. My trouble with this plugin (and the greasemonkey script, for that matter) is that certain pages style their links in such a way that they are invisible when placed on the wrong background. I moved to the greasemonkey script and added an 'a.setAttribute' to style Linkify made links in-line. That way by setting the background and foreground colors I know I'll always be able to read the text modified by this script. Cool thing is, you can install Greasemonkey scripts directly into Chrome. I use Tampermonkey to manage mine, however. I hope this is helpful to someone. When (if) I get some free time, I'll look for a fix to the 'blah...blah' problem.

Sometimes it does the job, but most of the time it only converts a part of the text into the link, breaking Youtube links. It also thinks that "blah...blah" is an url. Does anyone know an alternative to this?

For some reason installing this extension caused some of the pages I visit to not load correctly.

Very helpful extension. It would be better though if you could easily enable and disable it on certain sites

Used this extension to open a bunch of links on pastebin, which was helpful. But it will screw some websites with embedded content. The day after I added the extension I was doing my MOOC at courses.edx and because some time had passed I didn't figure out right away it was this extension causing the corruption of the css code. Just disabling the extension and refreshing the page fixed the issue

Very good, but where's the option to skip some sites?It removed?

Decent, but frequently linkifies words before elipses...

OK,But there is some bugs, such as miss match none ascii text following url as the part of url, result in wrong url

★★★☆☆2013-01-15

Same problem Zack Lease descriped: If two words are separated with thre dots (and no space) your extension makes a link out of it. example: word1...word2 would be nice if you can fix this! The it's 5 stars...

works good, but last version redirects me away in sites where are html redirect codes. Why so?

Works as described, however it appears to try and make a link out of a word with a non-spaced ellipsis attached, ex. testing...testing
