Review summary

Users frequently report that the extension reliably enables selection and right‑click on many sites and is simple and lightweight. However, multiple reviewers note it can break sites (notably Google Docs), trigger JavaScript errors that disrupt functionality, lacks whitelist/blacklist or per‑site toggles, and does not work consistently on every site.
Pros
  • Effectively enables text selection and restores the right‑click context menu on many sites (widely reported as working).
  • Simple and lightweight — multiple users praise that it “does what it says” and often works without reloading.
  • Generally reliable and useful for copying content (several users mention successful use for notes/reports).
Cons
  • Breaks Google Docs (several users report disabled copying or other breakage).
  • Causes JavaScript errors and can break site functionality on some pages (reports of “jQuery is not defined” and broken pages like Inoreader/Calendar).
  • No whitelist/blacklist or granular toggles — users must manually disable the add‑on for problematic sites.
  • Doesn’t work on every site; effectiveness is inconsistent depending on the site’s protection methods.
