Review Summary

Users appreciate Create Link for its ability to copy URLs in various useful formats and its intuitive design that boosts productivity. However, many report ongoing issues such as needing multiple tries to copy links, broken HTML link formatting especially on MacOS, and limited compatibility with certain pages. Additional limitations include lack of settings export/import and absence of multi-URL copy features. Despite these drawbacks, longtime users find it indispensable and value its flexibility and features.

Pros

  • Supports copying URLs in multiple formats including plain text, HTML, Markdown, and MediaWiki, improving editing efficiency.
  • Simple, minimalistic, and versatile, making it a powerful and intuitive tool for creating links.
  • Has been reliable and useful over long-term use, often utilized multiple times per day by users.
  • Offers useful keyboard shortcuts and default link type setting, enhancing user experience.
  • Source code availability and regex customization options make it perfect for advanced users.

Cons

  • Extension sometimes requires multiple attempts to successfully copy a formatted link to the clipboard, causing user frustration.
  • HTML link format stopped working properly in recent versions, especially on MacOS, producing raw HTML text instead of a hyperlink.
  • Issues with compatibility on certain web pages where HTML formatting is not supported or fails.
  • No easy way to export or import settings between browser profiles, limiting usability in multi-profile environments.
  • Lack of functionality to copy all URLs from a selection, potentially due to browser API limitations.
