📮 Copy email extension

Copy email is an extension for dealing with pesky mailto links you accidentally click while browsing.

There's nothing worse than thinking you're going to a contact page only to click a link, and then MacOS decides to open the Mail app. This extension will instead intercept the click and copy the email address from the mailto link on your clipboard.

  • Automatically ignores bcc, subject, etc.
  • Copies directly to your clipboard
  • Provides a notification when the address is successfully copied
  • Supports light and dark mode
  • Can turn notification off and copy email silently
