Link Gopher by Andrew Ziem

Rated 2 out of 5
by Anona Mause, a year agoThe first rule of computing is never fix what ain't broken and sadly Andrew has broken that rule. The new presentation of results is awful. Not only does it gratuitously double the size of the report by putting blank lines between each entry but the entry lines are obscured by a grey background making them much harder to read to the point where I'm considering looking for a different tool.
Link Gopher has been a core tool for me for many years but unless this new report is scrapped and replaced with something comparable to the original basic text report I'll be looking for a new tool. Perhaps providing a setting to switch off the presentation formatting is the answer?
Equally changing the icon is not a smart move either because i spent an hour looking for where it disappeared to before realising that it had been changed to what is a far less recognisable design. Using grey again is a bad idea. Change it to a more vibrant dark background colour and make the whole thing bigger so that the white links can be seen. It just looks like a grey blob on my menu line currently.

Developer response
posted a year agoThank you for the helpful comment. On Mozilla, I disabled Link Gopher version 2.6.1, which makes version 2.5.0 the primary version. I assume it will not downgrade you automatically, so you may need to reinstall. Let me know how it goes. In the future, the best place to report an issue is on the Link Gopher page on GitHub.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15346968, 2 months agoThis extension helps for when you want to link to a section of a long web page instead of just the top of the page. It helps you find the exact link extension to do just that. Muy bueno.
- Rated 5 out of 5by marcelnoya, 5 months agoMost times… I require a snapshot of all the links on a webpage… in the order in which they appear… duplicates and all. Thus… no sorting of links… or removal of duplicates… is preferred.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17818660, 6 months agoIt's not working anymore, I used it mainly to check all the links into html files saved in my laptop but when I try to use it it opens only a short popup who is not visible as well.
I was really using it, can you help me fix it? - Rated 5 out of 5by Klementine Des Pêches, 6 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by AMM, 7 months agoAfter I add it to Firefox. I dont see the icon on toolbar. So I have no clue how to use this extension. May be right click on page should show the extension on Context menu too.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AcecardflipsHatsdownmix, 7 months agothank you for extracting all links after they've been uploaded to my keyboard, but isn't it a bit too late for even thinking of extracting anything? ... Ahh so then perhaps this gopher is still a good extension for one who has plenty of time and can work from behind a firewall which would empoverish the whole thing. Yes, I think gopher is good for any firewalled granny sleeping in a contained space of serenity ... Waiting someone young to share here data with. Excellent work guys. Keep it Up!
I recommend the addon for college teenagers up to 16 who are learning from their grannies - Rated 5 out of 5by geeknik, 9 months ago
