Description

Copies True Link as shown at the status bar

When you hover on a link the browser shows its URL at the status bar. But a lot of sites are faking this info. That is, if you will click on the link or copy its URL then you will get not what displayed at the status bar.

This add-on adds new context menu item called "Copy True Link". By pressing it, the actual URL (as displayed at the status bar) will be copied to your clipboard.

A most useful extension, in Firefox as well as Chrome. I needed it to see clearly the destination URL of links included in Facebook posts. Right-clicking the link gives the option "copy link address". However, that address is to an intermediary Facebook location, the correct destination address appearing at the bottom of the browser page, in the status bar, but in an uncopiable state. This valuable extension gets round that and, via the right-click context menu, copies the true destination URL as plain text. Most valuable. Thank you, Danylo.
