Description

The purpose of this extension is to facilitate copying and pasting of text from a webpage such that the copied data includes a hyperlink to the page on which the text appears.

To use this extension in single page mode:
1. On the web page for which you're creating a link, select the text that you want to appear in the destination document. For a news article, this might be the article headline.
2. Click on the icon for this extension. A small window that says "Link copied" will pop up temporarily next to the icon.
3. Paste the text into the destination document. It should appear as a hyperlink to the webpage from which the text was copied.

To use the extension in multiple page mode:
1. Open all the tabs for which you want links.
2. Open gmail.com.
3. While on the gmail.com page, click on the icon for the extension. A small window that says "Multiple links copied" will pop up temporarily next to the icon.
4. Paste the text into the destination document. It should appear as hyperlinks to the webpage in the opened tabs.

If the extension recognizes the domain of the webpage, it will prefix the linked text with a friendly string, e.g. "Boston Globe:"

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
