mailto:copy

chrome extension that copies email addresses from mailto links instead of opening a mail app.

how it works

clicking an email link usually opens a desktop mail app you didn't ask for. mailto:copy intercepts the click, extracts and decodes the email address, and copies it to your clipboard.

after copying, the extension displays a quick confirmation toast and a brief pulse around the viewport edge. if you have prefers-reduced-motion enabled in your system, the animation is skipped while clipboard copying still works.
