Works great so far
Doesn't work on Mac
Does not work
Doesn''t work on my MacBook with Chrome 75.0.3770.142. When I hold down Shift and click and drag on link text, the browser still tries to drag the whole link somewhere as a bookmark or some such.
This is a pretty good extension. However, it doesn't work with every hyperlink.
Love it, very usefull tool!
Doesn't work for me.
This is the best ext for what it does. Simple and effective. No need to press 3 buttons at once, feels just natural.
does not work!
doesnt work
I would rate this much higher if there were a way to change the modifier key to something else. Shift is a particularly bad default choice because it interferes with "open link in new window" (or if you install Tab Activate, with "open link in background"). Please fix!
Does not work on osx
COOL
Suggestion: Discard the shift hotkey. Make drag left/right select text. Make drag up/down default.
Incredibly simple and effective. No crazy keyboard shortcuts to memorize, no need to toggle anything on and wait for the link to become text, then become a link again. Simple, fast, awesome. Thank you. Updated: Still one of my favorite Chrome Extensions. Small, effective, perfect for the job. Doesn't try to do too much and therefore doesn't ever fail at what it's meant to do. Thanks for being awesome.
as in opera 12, love it!
Works on some pages, doesn't work on others so it's unreliable. Shift modifier is bad chouce, alt would be better (as in firefox)
The choice of Shift as the modifier key (without any way for users to change it) makes this extension unusable. Shift+Click is the shortcut for "open link in new window" in Chrome (and most other browsers). Installing this extension disables that functionality completely -- shift now prevents clicking from following links (so that you can highlight them) and thus blocks the existing shift+click shortcut. This would be much more useful with alt, or the windows key/command key, or better yet if it left the modifier key to be defined by the user. Thanks anyway, it was a decent effort, but not useful for me as currently implemented.
Very useful!
It's good, but I WISH someone would mimic Operas method of text selection by moving the cursor horizontal. Is it patented or something...??
Small utility but very helpful... ♥
Came from Opera. Was totally puzzled I couldn't select link text. Thanks for this extension!
