      <div class="setting-name">Why?</div>
      <div class="setting-description">
      <p>
      Normally, if you want to copy a link you just right click on the link
      and then select "Copy Link" from the context menu.
      That's easy enough, just two clicks, so why
      obther with this extension?
      </p>
      <p>
      The problem is that the context menu is rather long, and you have to scan
      down the list until you find "Copy Link".  To make matters worse, the
      context menu is dynamic so the ordering depends on what is being shown
      on the page and other extensions running on the browser.
      When you are working in a state
      of "flow", the act of scanning the context menut to finding "Copy Link"
      takes mental effort and that breaks your state of flow.
      </p>
      <p>
      By replace this mentally taxing way of copying links with one that is
      based on physical action (Ctrl+C or shift click) that can be offloaded
      to your muscle memory, you can stay in your flow state and continue
      doing whatever you are working on without losing concentration.
      </p>
      </div>
    </div>

        <details>
          <summary>[Press to expand/collapse]</summary>
	    The <em>Middle click close</em> feature actually has nothing to
	    do with copying links, but it's there if you want to quick way to
	    close a tab with just a single mouse click.
