Copy Link Text

Copy the text of the link.
What is Copy Link Text?
'Copy Link Text' is a vital Firefox add-on that simplifies the act of copying text from a link. Just by right-clicking on the link you wish to copy, a 'Copy Link Text' option will appear. Choosing that option will instantly copy the link text to your clipboard. This add-on also allows for copying the link title when holding down the 'Shift' key. For copying image text, there's a related add-on to this. The utility of this add-on can be extended using similar add-ons like 'Link Text and Location Copier', 'Copy as Markdown', and 'Format Link'.

просто перестало работать на версии 1.6.5, пришлось устанавливать старую 1.6.4 и отключать авто обновление расширения .... :I

Works great! I reviewed the code on 7/27/2024, and version 1.6.4 is safe to use (no data harvesting or anything like that). Note: The "Copy Link Text" contextual menu item currently appears as the last item on the list. It would be better if this extension added the menu item just below "Copy Link" or "Copy Link Without Site Tracking".
