You can also specify keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow. Known Issues - Cannot grab image.alt when copying image - On Microsoft Windows, copied page link doesn't come with the link title [Important] About Permissions When using certain features such as tab exporting, you will be promoted to grant optional permissions, so that Copy as Markdown may read data from your browser. You may revoke permissions anytime on the Options page, from Extensions > Copy as Markdown > Extension Options. Copy as Markdown respects your privacy. It does NOT collect your browsing history, and will only access tabs when you use tab exporting features. --- Latest update: - 3.6.0 - Fix: copying selection as markdown may include extra new lines at the end of the output. Thanks @alexchexes on GitHub - Fix: copying on Chrome may fail due to noisy web pages that interfere with iframe message passing. Thanks @alexchexes on GitHub - Improve: surface warnings when the output is empty, and prevent writing to clipboard in such cases For past release notes please see https://github.com/yorkxin/copy-as-markdown/releases
