In plain words
I hate mailto is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that prevents websites from automatically opening your email client when you click email links. Instead, the extension copies the email address to your clipboard, allowing you to paste it wherever you prefer. This helps users maintain uninterrupted workflow by eliminating unexpected application launches while still providing easy access to email addresses.
