As others have said, this breaks text-box functionality on multiple sites (chatgpt, bluesky, etc.). Specifically: you can write the text, but clicking on it disables any kind of interaction. Drove me mad before I figured it out, given that selecting links should have nothing to do with writing in a text box. The addon seems pretty much abandoned. Don't install.

Normal behavior: click on a link and drag like you're selecting the text, and the entire link is dragged. To select the link text you have to start outside the text and drag over it.

Select Link Text behavior: click on a link and drag like you're selecting text, and the text is selected.

ChatGPT text-box works incorrect if this addon is enabled.

Please add screenshots to make it clear exactly how the user interaction with the add-on looks like?

Now 4 years later ... I have to disable it, because it hinders me from editing the message field in chatgpt.com for example.

Oh, so wonderful!

I was looking for this for a long time!

Finally, so convenient!

when this addon is enabled, right-click gestures will be disturbed which is very annoying...

Does exactly what it promises and this is awesome! Despite still showing a hand cursor, you can just select link text normally, just click, hold and move left/right. If you want to drag the link, just drag it upwards/downwards, so this still works as well. And of course, if you click the link, it behaves like always. I love it!

Рабочая замена Select Like A Boss. Позволяет выделять гиперссылки как обычный текст. Thanks!

The extension does its job well, but I had to uninstall it because of how it goes about its work.

(The way it injects JavaScript breaks the Ctrl+S "Web Page, complete" option's support for only generating a _files folder if there are supplementary files by ensuring that there are *always* supplementary "content" files.)

Hi Afnan, you made a lot of wonderful extensions out there. My favorite ones so far: Disable HTML5, Open in Sidebar, Tab Unloader and this one as well.

Could you make this an option like: hold a user-defined shortcut (Cmd, Shift, Ctrl or Opt) to activate the feature when we select, much of us use some extensions to drag drop links so if there isn't a key needs to be hold I think it might occurs some conflicts for usage.

Thank you for all the great works!
