LinkSuppressor is a lightweight Chrome extension developed by Hiroshi Yamamoto. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This free extension allows users to make any link selectable by pressing the [Alt], [Meta], or [Command] key.

One of the main features of LinkSuppressor is its ability to enable intuitive partial link selection by suppressing Chrome's "Drag & Drop Link" feature. By simply selecting a link text with the [Alt]/[Window]/[Command] key pressed, users can easily choose the desired portion of the link. This extension ensures that any meta information associated with the original text is not lost when copied and pasted into other rich-text editors.

LinkSuppressor offers different key combinations for different operating systems. On Windows, users can press [Alt], while on Mac OS X, they can press either [Alt] or [Command]. For other operating systems, [Alt] or [Meta] can be used.

The latest release of LinkSuppressor, version 1.0.4, introduced compatibility with Windows and Linux. It also included a hack for news.google.com and adjusted the timing when the first listener is added. The initial release, version 1.0.0, was specifically built for Mac testers.
