- (2023-10-28) hr: It copies the same text twice. For example: 06-09666-61130 06-09666-61130 Edit: It doesn't work after the latest chrome update.
- (2023-09-28) Tammi L. Coles (tlcoles): Happy to report that it works on Arc, the Chromium-based browser for Mac. Been using this for years. Thanks for your work!
- (2023-09-25) Serge: Наконец-то нашёл расширение, которое корректно копирует название ссылки не только в Хроме, но и в Яндекс.Браузер
- (2023-09-19) Samuele gg: Funziona perfettamente per la funzione che ricercavo, ne ho provate tantissime, ho sfogliato per qualche ora il playstore, mi stavo arrendendo e alla fine sono riuscito a trovarti. Presente nel menù contestuale destro del mouse l'opzione per copiare, semplicemente, solo il titolo di un link in clipboard (senza markdown e senza dover selezionare il testo). Ottima visibilità dell'icona nella barra dell'estensioni, soprattutto per chi, come me, utilizza temi scuri. I tried so many, spent hours browsing the Play Store, and was about to give up when I found you, but it works exactly for the purpose I was seeking for. There is an option to just copy a link's title to the clipboard (without using markdown or selecting the text) in the right mouse context menu. Excellent icon visibility in the extensions bar, especially for dark theme users like me.

- (2023-04-14) Jeff Kang: The extension stopped working for me today 2022-12-23. I'm using another extension Copy Link Text for now. Edit: Thanks! It works again.
- (2023-03-22) Ding Dong: This sucks tried several times but didn't do copy.
- (2022-10-07) zayer mim: Works fine for now, When just got it installed, you need to refresh all opened web pages to get it work. but it cannot copy text inside tweets like addon "Copy Link Text"
- (2022-09-16) Will Lesage: Ça me colle "undefined", quel que soit le texte du lien que je copie.
- (2022-06-24) Brahim Alloud: really good my friend i use a lot
- (2022-04-06) Ali Safapour: Works fine, thanks
- (2022-04-01) Carsten A.: Does not work. Allways copies "undefined". In DevTools appears an error whenever I click on "Copy Link Name": > Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'innerText') Using Chrome Version 99.0.4844.84
- (2021-12-07) Iqra Touseef: Amazing
- (2021-03-22) Максим Агарев: Doesn't work
- (2021-03-02) Kamilake: undefined ==> PLEASE REFRESH YOUR PAGE!!
- (2020-11-16) Alice Margaret: There's some slightly odd behavior that might be good to know, but might make sense/probably isn't worth trying to fix. I tried to copy some CJK text from a link title in a video tile and it copied the text below the result [possibly due to that also being part of the link] putting it under the other text% % Search query: "bad apple 伴奏" % Tile text [multiple lines, this was what ended up being copied]: % > Bad Apple!!伴奏 % > 哔哩哔哩 % URL: [bilibili link]/video/av83298206/ With a search result, it puts the other stuff from above the link _below_ the link text%% %% URL: [zhidao.baidu link]/question/146304598.html %% Original text: "求东方bad apple无损原曲+伴奏_百度知道" %% > zhidao.baidu.com › question %% > 求东方bad apple无损原曲+伴奏_百度知道 %% Copied text [multiple lines]: %% > 求东方bad apple无损原曲+伴奏_百度知道 %% > zhidao.baidu.com › question [note the flip]

- (2019-09-29) Yuhua Deng: This is too useful
- (2019-09-13) does what it is supposed to. Saves 3 clicks but over a million copy tasks...thank you!!!
- (2019-09-10) Matthew Randall: This is crazy simple and does exactly what I wanted it to do. This will save me a small portion of my day!
- (2019-08-28) Quang Dung TRUONG (Yung): Noted in 2013: Does not work at all for me. Windows 7 Chrome..Always show "Undefined" Updated in 2019: working perfectly, update my rate to 5 stars.
- (2019-08-08) Adam Kim: Does not work. Just pastes the word "undefined" no matter which link text I attempt to copy.
- (2019-07-06) Hao (Hao): 已失效
- (2018-11-30) 优家日志: c店的sku文字不能复制,天猫的可以,用起来还是很方便的。希望能修改下就好了,搜狗可以用,但是那浏览器实在不好用
- (2018-10-30) Kin: Doesn't work! Instead of the name of a link, clipboard contains "undefined".
- (2018-09-17) Jan Naturlih: Simple and Powerful!
- (2017-11-02) OstepopSalat: great!
- (2017-07-12) Chris Ellison: Does what it says. Read the instructions.
- (2017-03-04) Влад Кротких: Doesn't work.
- (2017-02-22) Rafael Madeira: This extension provides a sorely needed feature and has always served me very well. People having trouble with it probably just tried it before reloading the page-- the option to copy link name shows up as soon as you install it, but if you try to use it in a page that was already opened before the extension was installed, you will get the "undefined" text instead. If you reload the page or try it on a new one, it works as expected.
- (2017-01-31) Emmette Coleman: I've found this quite useful. I'm a long-time user of the (discounted Presto-based) Opera browser, so it's nice to see Opera features coming to Chrome. And this extension was made by Adel Saoud, a Google employee, so I think it can be trusted.
- (2017-01-16) Marcus: doesn't work.
- (2016-08-26) Irish Panda: It exactly does what I want! Good extension! Thanks! I use it mainly in Google search results. It works well.
- (2016-08-04) Stefan: Not working for a lot of link types. Works just for <a> tag, else you get an undefined paste.
- (2016-07-07) Adam Szmulewski: show "undefined" instead of text
- (2016-05-27) anon ymous: Won't even work with <a> tag for me, everything is undefined.
- (2016-05-26) Ian Randell: Does not work on <a> links either - I get 'undefined' when pasting. Could it be multilingual symbols in the name? The links I'm working on are Danish. They display fine in Chrome though. Fix it and Ill re-review. thanks
- (2016-01-10) Hank Wu: it's not compatible with pages of amazon.com
- (2015-11-08) Adrian Thoroughgood: I have been close to punching my monitor with the frustration of not being able to select and copy text that is a link (as it tries to drag a shortcut instead). This extension gets around it by copying the link text direct with 2 clicks. Works even in Facebook for me so I suppose the author must have fixed the problems that others had in earlier versions. Thanks for making this!
- (2015-07-01) James Oldiges: WONDERFUL! Look, it may not be what you need, but for others, it is! This literally halved the time doing a project for work. 4h-->2h. I'd have payed for this simple feature. Thanks OP!
- (2015-06-21) Alan Welch: does what it says, would love to have a hotkey bind for it though

- (2023-02-06, v:1.0.8) Liggliluff: Please add other languages
Please add other languages to when you right click, based on the browser language, so it looks like it belongs as part of the browser itself. Also write the name of the option in lowercase, so it should say "Copy link name", but it should also rather say "Copy link text" instead, which it does on Android. -- Due to Chrome Web Store removing linebreaks, copy the text after the dashes and do a simple search and replace for "{N}" with linebreak ---------- am:"የአገናኝ ጽሑፍ ቅዳ"{n}ar:"نسخ نص الرابط"{n}bg:"Копиране на текста на връзката"{n}ca:"Copia el text de l'enllaç"{n}cs:"Zkopírovat text odkazu"{n}da:"Kopiér linktekst"{n}de:"Linktext kopieren"{n}el:"Αντιγραφή κειμένου συνδέσμου"{n}es:"Copiar texto de enlace"{n}es-419:"Copiar texto del vínculo"{n} (if es-419 isn't valid, add multiple of these: es-MX, es-AR, en-US...){n}fa:"کپی نوشتار پیوند"{n}fi:"Kopioi linkin teksti"{n}fr:"Copier le texte du lien"{n}he:"העתק טקסט קישור"{n} (or if not valid, use language code: iw){n}hi:"लिंक लेख को कॉपी करें"{n}hr:"Kopiraj tekst veze"{n}hu:"Link szövegének másolása"{n}id:"Salin teks link"{n} (or if not valid, use language code: in){n}it:"Copia testo link"{n}ja:"リンク テキストをコピー"{n}ko:"링크 텍스트 복사"{n}lt:"Kopijuoti nuorodos tekstą"{n}lv:"Kopēt saites tekstu"{n}no:"Kopiér ilnkteksten"{n} (or if not valie, use language code: nb){n}nl:"Linktekst kopiëren"{n}pl:"Kopiuj tekst linku"{n}pt:"Copiar texto do link"{n}ro:"Copiați textul linkului"{n}ru:"Копировать текст ссылки"{n}sk:"Kopírovať text odkazu"{n}sl:"Kopiraj besedilo povezave"{n}sr:"Копирај текст линка"{n}sr-Latn:"Kopiraj tekst linka"{n}sv:"Kopiera länktext"{n}sw:"Nakili maandishi ya kiungo"{n}th:"คัดลอกข้อความลิงก์"{n}tl:"Kopyahin ang text ng link"{n}tr:"Bağlantı metnini kopyala"{n}uk:"Копіювати текст посилання"{n}vi:"Sao chép văn bản liên kết"{n}zh-CN:"复制链接文字"{n} (and/or language code: zh-Hans){n}zh-HK:"複製連結文字"{n}zh-TW:"複製連結文字"{n} (and/or language code: zh-Hant) - (2018-11-30, v:1.0.6) 优家日志: sku链接文字不能复制
你好,我在使用过程中发现淘宝店铺的sku上的文字不能复制(带有图片的sku),天猫的可以,还有就是我在复制链接文本的时候粘贴文档就会多一行空格文档出来,会导致Excel自动换行,所有没次粘贴完成都要按一次退格键,比较不方便。 - (2018-07-18, v:1.0.6) Eric Chabrier: copy the link name and the link in the same time

Hi, thanks for this extension but it doesn't work in recent Chrome versions, it just always copies "undefined". It's missing the "clipboardWrite" permission. I've verified that by adding this permission, it starts working. Can you please add the permission and release a new version? - (2013-10-30, v:1.0.4) Eric: Copy Link Name problem
It returns "undefined" instead of link name. Google Chrome 30.0.1599.114
