- (2023-10-28) Vice: 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"

- (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]

- (2019-09-10) 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.

- (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
