• Clean Popup UI: Displays your links clearly with platform icons and your chosen display text/username.
• Easy Configuration: Add, edit, and delete profiles via a straightforward Settings page.

Installation

Since this extension isn't on the official browser web stores (yet!), you need to load it manually as an "unpacked extension":

1. Download:
   • Go to the Releases page and download the latest .zip file (e.g., cliplinks-v1.0.0.zip).
   • OR, if you prefer, clone or download this repository's main branch.
2. Unzip: Extract the downloaded .zip file into a dedicated folder on your computer. You should have a folder containing manifest.json, popup.html, icons/, etc.
3. Open Browser Extensions:
   • Chrome/Brave: Type chrome://extensions in your address bar and press Enter.
   • Edge: Type edge://extensions in your address bar and press Enter.
4. Enable Developer Mode: Find the "Developer mode" toggle (usually in the top-right corner) and switch it ON.
5. Load Unpacked:
   • Click the "Load unpacked" button that appears.
   • Navigate to and select the folder where you extracted the extension files (the folder that directly contains the manifest.json file).
6. Done! The ClipLinks icon should now appear in your browser's toolbar. You might need to click the puzzle piece icon (🧩) to pin it.
