I'm giving five stars because I've been using this extension on Chrome for a long time, often multiple times per day, and it's super-useful for me. However, I hope the developer will respond to several user comments that for a while now it sometimes requires several attempts to create a link. It may be because I have a huge number of tabs open. This Chrome extension also works with Edge. The Edge extension by the same name but made by a different developer works OK but it can only make an HTML link, not the other options that this Chrome extension offers like plain text, which is the option I usually use.

A good extension, but not all types of pages support correct HTML links. For example, at the address below, copying in HTML format does not work: http://www.forum.freecommander.com/viewtopic.php?t=775&sid=106b69ba660b7a473953778b6d50e09c&start=330 The "HTML Format" dictionary item is not available on the clipboard.

Always takes 2 or 3 tries to successfully format the link on the clipboard. Very annoying.

URLリンクを平文、HTML,markdown、MediaWikiの形式でコピーすることができるので、編集作業の効率化が図れます

Works great for creating a readable link to a google doc. However you have to use shift-right-click to get the browser's context menu rather than google docs context menu. Update May 2023: No longer working in Chrome on MacOS Ventura. When you try to create an HTML link and paste it into a doc, you get the HTML text for a link, but the not a link object. (eg: <a href="https:...">Link Text</a>). I use a different plugin on Firefox and it still works, so its not because of the way I'm using it.

Loved it when it worked. But two or three weeks ago it got disabled by chrome. I re enabled it but since then it has often taken more than one try to put something on the clipboard. Today it doesn't work at all. Happy to change the review if problem is on my end.

Suddenly "HTML" stopped working. Now it creates a text description instead of a hyperlink :(

とてもとても便利。 Windows中のtabのリンクをまとめて、指定した形式で取得できたらもっと嬉しい。

Très utile!

I will rate the extension 5 stars if there is an easier way to export/import the setting to different browser profile in a multiple-browser-profiles working environment.

A must if one is in the habit of quoting text and copypasting links. Som bugs that need to be ironing out, keeps it from a given 5.

Nice! And now, with keyboard shortcuts and a default link type it double-rocks! If only I could switch between default formats using the keyboard! ;(

No way to just copy all urls from selection. Is it a Chrome API limitation?

Great at what it does. Wish it did a little more :). https://github.com/ku/CreateLink has some issues to address to make it 5-star.
