copyclean

Copy text without the formatting nonsense.

License: MIT Live Site Open Source

Auto-clean on Ctrl / Cmd + C or use the popup button to copy any selection as plain text.

Built for Manifest V3 — simple, reliable, and blessedly drama-free. Privacy-first, local storage only.

Features

  • Auto-clean toggle — intercepts Ctrl / Cmd + C and cleans copied text automatically.
  • Popup button — one-click “Copy selection as plain text”.
  • Robust fallbacks using chrome.scripting.executeScript if the content script can’t run.
  • Tiny toast confirmations so you know it worked.
  • Blocked-page detection for chrome://, the Chrome Web Store, and PDFs.

Tech Notes

  • Uses chrome.storage.sync to persist settings.
  • Toasts are rendered directly into the active page DOM for reliability.
  • Background worker handles all fallbacks and cross-context messaging.
  • Lightweight, zero dependencies.
