The Problem

If you are like me who frequently copies text of links for some reason or another, then you might know how irritating it can be to select the text without accidentally opening it or selecting the blank spaces around the link.

The Solution

Using this script you can copy the text simply by dragging and dropping the link for any distance. Check out the attached gif to see it in action.

The Drawback

This script poses an obvious problem when you try to drag the link and drop it to create another tab. I will try to find a workaround. (Although I don't think there are many people who do this.)
