I really love this extension. Using it saves me a few minutes every day. It is the Copy Plain Text extension and it will allow you to copy a portion of a web page and paste it somewhere else without any of the text formating or internet coding that is often a part of a web page. Their description reads like this…
Have you ever copied something to Thunderbird or Office and been annoyed that the text formatting (bold, font size, etc) came with it? Don’t you wish you could just copy the text itself, without having to copy it, paste it into notepad, then copy it again? This extension gives you an option to copy text without the formatting. You can even set it to trim extra space in and around the copied text!
Think of all the sites you need to cut and paste from. Most have some sort of HTML formatting that does not copy cleanly into your application, doesn’t it? With this extension, you simply highlight the text as normal for a cut and paste operation, but then rather than hitting “ctrl + c” or using the “copy” feature when you right click on the highlighted text, simply find the “copy as plain text” option on the right click. After right clicking, then you can paste it into whatever application you are working on. This keeps whatever you copy in the same font you are working in and copies it over without links to other sites.
It keeps your cutting and pasting simple and clean, and keeping things simple is good, is it not? Yet another reason to download Firefox.
