Hi, I like this extension, but although the privacy concerns are right, I quite find useful that I've the visited pages saved in my google history. However, I'd like to be able to copy the google links.

Would be possible to only have this applied to the copy content? There was an extension doing this in the past but it's not anymore supported by new firefox.

It especially helps with getting technical documentation, otherwise you are profiled as person that cannot distinguish between schematic/datasheet and user manual. By default search engine just approximates to absolutely lowest common denominator (lowest in maslow's hierarchy of needs)

The extension cannot tell whether you are copying the link. The best I could do is limiting its functionality to right clicks. However, Google mangles links the first time you click them. This means that you won't be able to copy a link after clicking it. And if you right-click a link first, clicking it later won't save it in your history. I guess you can live with such quirks?

For me it would be enough, Thanks for looking into this

For me mangling is mostly an issue when result is PDF, or i want to copy url to something i already was on
