Wow, This is a great tools but maybe it would have been better to change the name into "disabling all hyperlinks (+copy hyperlink reference text)" to appear in firefox add-on search better. For me, I wanted to copy hyperlink texts without going into new tab and I had to search through many copying add-ons to find yours. Thank you so much.

Edited to add: This add-on is extremely liberal about what it considers a "link". Activating it on a news page prevents me from playing embedded videos. Activating it on a blog prevents me from clicking "read more" buttons to expand comments. Activating it on YouTube breaks the entire player and pops up a message telling me I'm signed out. I don't know what this add-on is doing to disable links, but it's very invasive and I don't like it or trust it.
Previous comments:
Would be pretty good, if it didn't default to "off", and automatically reset to that on every page.
It would be preferable if there were a toggle as to whether it should be on by default or off by default.
It would be even better if there were an option to create a whitelist (list of websites where the add-on should not activate by default) and a blacklist (list of websites where the add-on should activate by default).

When reading something I can focus on what I am reading instead of jumping to another link and leaving an unfinished reading
