Review Summary

Users find "Copy text with Alt-Click" a highly useful and efficient extension that streamlines copying text from web pages, saving time especially for those who do it frequently. It is praised for simplicity and effectiveness. However, multiple users report it doesn't work on some Chrome versions or platforms, notably Mac where Alt+Click triggers system shortcuts. Additional limitations include difficulty copying larger blocks of text, occasional formatting problems, and lack of support for images or popup content. Overall, it boosts productivity but has compatibility and functionality constraints for some users.

Pros

  • Simplifies and speeds up the process of copying text by allowing copying with Alt+Click without manually selecting text.
  • Highly useful for people who frequently copy text, such as coders, researchers, editors, and students.
  • Small, lightweight extension that does not consume much memory or resources.
  • Works out of the box without additional steps, enhancing productivity.
  • Generally appreciated for being simple, efficient, and easy to use.

Cons

  • Does not work on some systems or Chrome versions leading to non-functionality for some users.
  • Conflicts with Mac OS default behavior where Alt+Click opens a new tab, making the extension unusable on Mac.
  • Has issues copying large amounts of text like multiple paragraphs efficiently; users still need to select and copy text manually in some cases.
  • Sometimes copies text with formatting issues such as missing line breaks or extra unwanted content.
  • Does not support copying images or content from pop-up windows in all cases.
