[Feature Request] Option to disable/hide "Add context menu entry to copy target URL" context menu item

Open ImSpecial opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

Title pretty much says it all. Update recently added this "feature" to the context menu, not everyone want's or needs this, it creates clutter in the context menu, can this be disabled in the options?

I just found out that this extension will probably stop working next year, so I am not going to put more effort into it, but you can open a PR.

Incredible... I'm already looking for a replacement. :/

Why is that?

@crssi Because Manifest V2 will stop working and Manifest V3 does not have the API that I am currently using. You can thank Google for that. So whatever happens there is work that needs to be done, but without the API the only way to make this work is to intercept clicks on links. I am not sure I am up for that because it's a rabbit hole.

Google/Chrome are the ones dropping the Manifest IIRC, Firefox is the one that are sticking with the other. Are you sure Firefox is affected here?

ImSpecial avatar Mar 13 '22 21:03 ImSpecial

I am not using Firefox anymore and it's unclear what they will or will not do, the last update has been almost a year ago. SO there won't be much effort from my side, but PRs are welcome.

@sblask don't give up,just yet 😉 Chrome can be run with --allow-legacy-extension-manifests switch which will extend the life of essential extensions like yours. Feature development is encouraged 👍
