This extension does not work for me at all. Every time I select it then paste, it pastes whatever I copied previous to this instead. I have not found a dingle link it works on.

It copies the same text twice. For example: 06-09666-61130 06-09666-61130 Edit: It doesn't work after the latest chrome update.

Does not work. Allways copies "undefined". In DevTools appears an error whenever I click on "Copy Link Name": > Error in event handler: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'innerText') Using Chrome Version 99.0.4844.84

Won't even work with <a> tag for me, everything is undefined.

Does not work on <a> links either - I get 'undefined' when pasting. Could it be multilingual symbols in the name? The links I'm working on are Danish. They display fine in Chrome though. Fix it and Ill re-review. thanks

Doesn't work! Instead of the name of a link, clipboard contains "undefined".

Nope, it doesn't work on any of the link text I tried from various websites. If you try to use the "copy link name" button, it just paste the word "undefined"...

Did not work for me on many links. Does work some of the time. From what I can tell: If there is anything other than plain text in the link tage (example a span for formatting) it won't work. javascript has a way to get just the text, but doesn't look like they used it since it simply fails to copy anything.

I got "undefined" instead. Please fix it.

Not working for a lot of link types. Works just for <a> tag, else you get an undefined paste.

it's not compatible with pages of amazon.com

It *ONLY* works with texts enclosed within the anchor tag <a></a>. Many websites nowadays, like Facebook, uses a complex way to generate texts and links, making this extension unable to deal with those links and thus returns empty space or "undefined". Would be cool if it can be updated to keep up with the popular methods.

Sorry dude, but I thought it was supposed to work everywhere, when it does not. I liked the simple context menu interface, but I was hoping to work on every link (or at least to copy their labels). I'll start using it again when you fix that.

Works fine for now, When just got it installed, you need to refresh all opened web pages to get it work. but it cannot copy text inside tweets like addon "‪Copy Link Text‬"

As previous reviews, it works only with <a></a> tag. Anything else will give you "undefined". Hope it gets an update.
