I am using Mozilla firefox and trying to copy paste a news article from this site : www.indianexpress.com
however, whenever I do a copy paste of any text from the above news-site, an irritating link is also pasted in the word document in the last. This link says something like this : see also... bla-blah + some link.
Can someone tell me how to copy the the text without letting the invisible link also getting copied ?? thanks and regards.
This feature of adding a link of the URL from where it was copied, at the end of copy-pasted content is achieved through a JavaScript (typically using a service like Tynt Insight) so by disabling the specific external JavaScript file that contains code implementing this annoying feature using an add-on or any JavaScript from running after the page loads, you can get rid of the irritating message and link. (BTW, the monstrous home page of Indian Express measures over 4MB!).
To disable JavaScript in Firefox (version 33) after the page loads, in Firefox go to Tools > Web Developer > Inspector
In the panel that opens up, click on the Settings gear icon at the top right hand corner. Under Advanced Settings, check the option Disable JavaScript
