With browsers I often use mouse doubleclick for many reasons, e.g. to translate words.

"Plain Text Linker" obviously makes nof difference between likely and unlikelely links.
It even opens some single words as URI in a new tab. This should not happen.
For example it tried to open the german word "begonnen" as URL (opening new tab, converting "begonnen." to "https://begonnen./". Note that "https://begonnen." is not even a complete domain!
( this happens quite often and is annoying. For this special case doubleclick "begonnen." at https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Taliban-treffen-sich-mit-Ex-Praesident-Karsai-article22750896.html )

This can be far better as you can see with Firefox and it's addon "Text Link"
by ""Piro" Hiroshi".

I had to disable this Chrome extension.
