A Chrome 73+ extension.
(Download the .crx file here.)
Adds an item to the context menu (arbitrary drawn as '֎') for copying a link anchor text or the value of title/alt attributes for an image.
Unlike other similar extensions this one actually works.
0.1.0
- Reduce the memory usage by switching to an 'Event Page', instead of a persistent bg page.
- Add img support.
$ make crx
The result should be in _out dir.
Why doesn't it use the celebrated activeTab permission (+
chrome.tabs.executeScript()) instead of <all_urls>?
The only way to get hold of a DOM node for which the contextmenu
event was fired is to register an event handler first (on a parent of
the node). This is what the extension does via injecting its content
script into all the web pages.
But if we do executeScript() on demand, than the contextmenu event
doesn't fire in the injected script iff executeScript() runs for
the 1st time, for the contextmenu event happens before the
injection, hence the injected script doesn't see it.
