UPDATE: Developer responded 37 minutes after my request with a potential solution, fast! That solution meets my needs. UPDATE 2: The Developer even went a step further and offered to create a custom version just for me (to install via download file), and that does "exactly" what I wanted. That type of service is almost unheard of these days, very impressive!! ORIGINAL: I loved the prior version. The new version changed an aspect I was able to configure before, and thus now it is less convenient for me to use the extension. I have just submitted a suggestion to correct the situation, and will happily change this to a 5 star review again if it is fixed. Thanks. ps - The aspect I had working before is to define ONLY ONE custom context menu entry, such as: URL Copy Link Extras - %text %url ...and it would show up in the TOP-level-menu of the right-click-context-menu (thus not forcing me to drill down into sub-menus there). So in my example I only had to [right-click and press U] to copy my desired links.
