ChatGPT Copy Cleaner — adptly

When you copy text from ChatGPT, the clipboard often contains unwanted clutter:
• Citation markers like [1], [2], [3]
• Reference links like ([MDN Web Docs][1])
• Reference definitions: [1]: https://example.com "Title"
• Tracking parameters: ?utm_source=chatgpt.com
• Source badges: MDN Web Docs+1

This extension automatically intercepts copy actions and removes this noise before text reaches your clipboard.

FEATURES:
• Aggressive mode: Removes ALL links, URLs, citations, and reference markers
• Conservative mode: Keeps intentional inline links, removes citation noise only
• Works with both Ctrl/Cmd+C and ChatGPT's copy button
• Code block protection: Preserves URLs inside code blocks
• Toast notifications: Visual feedback when cleaning is active
• Optional console logging for debugging

PRIVACY:
• No data collection or analytics
• No network requests - all processing happens locally
• No data transmission to external servers
• Only stores your settings locally
• Open source and auditable

PERMISSIONS EXPLAINED:
• storage: Save your settings preferences
• scripting: Inject clipboard cleaning script into ChatGPT pages

Works on chatgpt.com and chat.openai.com.
