What is Allow Clipboard?
"Allow Clipboard" is a Chrome Extension that facilitates clipboard read and write operations without needing a user action. Standard Chrome operations restrict JavaScript's access to the Clipboard barring user interaction. However, this extension is vital when asynchronous server call requires out-of-band clipboard access.
