A lightweight extension which lets you disable all links on a webpage.
Usage
• • •
To toggle between disabling and enabling all links, simply click the extension icon (located in the upper right corner of the browser) or use the keyboard shortcut **Alt + Shift + D**.
Features
• • •
The extension curretly comes with two main features, which can be activated through the extension's options page (see below for more details).
• Save toggle status globally and on page reload: if this option is checked, when you hit "disable links" the change will be reflected on all tabs, and links will stay disabled even after page reload.
• Only disable links that follow a pattern: if this option is enabled, when you hit "disable links" only links in the disable list will be disabled. All other links will stay enabled. This option is automatically enabled if the disable list is not empty. The disable list can be configured with a pattern per line, and accepts wildcards with the * sign.
Configuration
• • •
• Shortcuts: you can configure the shortcut in the Chrome shortcuts page at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
• Options: you can configure the extension options through the extension's options page

- (2023-06-24) Sang Nguyễn: omg... tks you so much <3
- (2022-01-20) Brian Boddaert: Doesn't work for me on Windows 10. Simply put, links still work even if I click on the extension
- (2021-12-04) Nils “UzAt” Dudda: It's perfect. From now on I'll save so much time by not clicking again on those click-bait sites like "spiegel.de" and so on... Thank you.
- (2021-06-08) Someone You Don't Know: extremely useful! thanks!
- (2021-01-03) Hector Perez: This extension doesn't work on my Widows 10 with the most updated version of Chrome.
- (2019-11-04) Jeong-hun Sin: I was looking for an extension that turns all hyperlinks on a webpage into plain text. Google search gave me only this and "Disable links."(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-links/kgghjfabpkpodeancnenkndklnomjpbf). The problem with this extension is that, it only disables links' click events. That is, they are still links, but when you click them, nothing happens. Since they still links, they cause problems when selecting. The problem of "Disable links." is that it does seem to turn links into plain texts (albeit their colours are still blue), links become plain texts only while you are holding Ctrl and Alt. Like Cinderella past 12 o'clock, the moment you release Ctrl and Alt, they become links again.

- (2023-09-26, v:1.3.1) Mimi N: Not working on MS Edge.
Can't seem to get this to work with edge at least. Using the short cuts don't really do anything. - (2023-01-06, v:1.3.1) Joel Forsyth: Certain links aren't disabled
On npr.org, there is a mix of links that have and haven't been disabled. NPR Shop is fine, but Sign In and Donate aren't. The story types are fine, but the bit next to the NPR logo isn't. Most notably, the links to other stories under "More Stories From NPR" haven't been disabled. - (2021-02-23, v:1.3.1) Bryan Duke (wolfduke): Improve it
We all copy paste text but we dont want to paste live links. Your extension when switched on still pastes live links. There are other reason for switching off links you know. - (2021-02-06, v:1.3.1) Geoff: Works great but does not block dynamic links.
e.g. Go to translate.google.com and type a web address in the left box, google translates that plain text url into a link in the right side box and you can click on it. - (2021-01-31, v:1.3.1) John: doesn't work
Same as above, not disabling anything. first trying it the mouse hand quit showing as if it disabled the links but they still worked. i shut if off and on a few times (looking through developer tools and saw no errors when reloading pages and when enabling and disabling) although doing that made the mouse hand come back... while still no disabled links. windows7-64 & chrome portable. - (2019-10-25, v:1.1) Patrick Lines-Mattei: Not working?
I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if this just isn't working. I added it to Chrome, restarted the browser, and tried both the keyboard shortcut and clicking the extension, but links are still opening.
