    Agreed though that you shouldn't have to use a third party tool for something so basic.

    I just paste into Windows' Notepad, Linux's Nano, etc. and recopy to paste. An extra step, but works well for me.

    If you're a Windows user, you may find PureText useful. It accomplishes the same thing but in 1 step (Win+V) instead of several (Win+R,notepad,Ctrl+V,Ctrl+A,Ctrl+C,Alt+F4,N,Ctrl+ V). Since it's a Windows program instead of a browser add-in, it works from any program and it's lightweight enough that I'm comfortable leaving it running in the background. Configurable for those with compulsive keyboard habits.

    Or you could use PureText. Using 1.8 Megs of memory, it is a resident program that sits in your system tray and can remove all the extra formatting from the content of the clipboard. You define a "Paste withtout RTF/HTML formatting" shortcut (Windows key + V by default to look like Control-V) and voilà, no need for 'Edit -> Paste Special' anymore.

    Obviously it only works on Windows.
