Smart Text Link Converter de Fred Koch

Smart Text Link Converter automatically detects text-based URLs and converts them into clickable links as you browse the web. The extension works seamlessly on static and dynamic pages, helping you interact with links that would otherwise remain plain text.

The extension supports intelligent detection for email addresses, standard URLs, subdomains, and top-level domains. Advanced configuration options allow you to fine-tune how links are recognized, processed, and displayed — including full control over protocols, inline elements, and excluded HTML tags.

Custom rules can be applied before or after predefined rules, enabling advanced use cases such as URL rewriting, redirect handling, or selective link processing. Dynamic page changes are handled automatically with performance safeguards to prevent slowdowns.
