What is the point of making up a scenario in your head to get mad at?
There are extensions to enable copy/paste when a website has disabled them. I’ve been using Don’t Fuck With Paste (Github) for a long time and it mostly works but it hasn’t been updated in years. There are other options in the Chrome store.
Don’t think it can. The copy paste function is a function of the operating system not the application.
Clipboard is provided by the OS, but application chooses how to integrate with it.
When you select text and hit ctrl-c or click copy in the context menu, it’s all done by the application. And it may choose to remove/disable this feature.
Applications (and websites) can definitely allow / deny copy/paste into specific text fields; I’m not sure if they could disable it for the entire browser as a whole but I can’t imagine they’d ever do so even if it’s possible.
Maybe not completely 100% locked down, but what about making it difficult to access for non-technical users? Also what about chrome mobile browsers? On mobile it is much easier to block copy and paste right?
Absolutely started happening on mobile websites. And actually it’s the only reason I use AI at the moment. If I see something I want to copy I hold down my O button till ai pops up then I draw a circle around the text. AI pops it into a search field for me. Haven’t found a way to do this on PC yet but F12 exists and in still handy with that
That’s just Optical Character Recognition, you don’t need AI for it. Search ‘OCR’ plus your operating system…
