I'm genuinely shocked that Google developed this. That being said, I LOVE IT! Very useful. Thanks!

Great extension, thanks! Suggestions for the extension's options page: 1. Show a demo of how the currently selected options will render as plain text and rich text. 2. For the "Copy as rich text plus the raw URL.": When the highlighted text includes links they show up as such when pasted as rich text but the URLs behind the links are missing (tested in Word). Would be nice to have them.
