This plugin adds a simple checkbox in the insert/edit link popup for including nofollow attribute.
I have been using this plugin for over 5 years now and on more than one site. It is very simple and still serves its purpose, however, due to the lack of updates, I am having security concerns. I have looked for better alternatives but can’t find one as simple and hitch-free as this. Ordinarily, I should give a 5 star but can’t see myself giving one star, hence the neutral with the hope of seeing an update soon. I don’t mind an alternative if the author is no longer interested in the project.

It is time to update this extension. This is not reassuring in terms of security and compatibility.
In my opinion, this is the best rel=”nofollow” checkbox plugin in the repo.
Other plugins, that also add a rel=”nofollow” checkbox, have a few bugs that can be difficult to work with. This plugin, however, doesn’t have these issues.
It is so useful for affiliate links to have this no follow option when you click on the dented wheel.
Thank you so much Fabio
