- Copy Hyperlink Text uses the google chrome prompt dialog allowing the user to manually copy text
- Copy Hyperlink Text does not automatically copy to the clipboard on a native operating system (it's a sandbox javascript limitation)
- I will automatically copy to the native clipboard once javascript has a standardized way to access the operating system clipboard
- Copy Hyperlink Text does not copy text inside or nested in <iframe> elements. I lost the "which element loads first war" and chrome doesn't support event listener frame loading, boo. When chrome adds support for this I'll attempt to have this extension work inside html frames
