Full summary

This extension re-enables the context menu.

Indeed, many sites prohibit the right-click on images, pretending to protect their content. I think it is illegitimate.

Unfortunately, Google Chrome does not have advanced options for what javascript is allowed to do (on the contrary of Konqueror, Opera or firefox). If you think it should, please star (don't add a "me too" comment)

In the meantime, this extension provides a workaround, by resetting the oncontextmenu to its default behaviour on many elements of the page. Oh, as a bonus, it works for Flickr and Youtube html5 videos too!

If a site is not supported, please report it in the bug tracker, not in the comments. If a site is broken by the extension, please report it in the bug tracker, not in the comments.

However, a nice comment is always welcome :-)

This extension is a clean implementation to re-enable right-click context menu on websites that prevent it. Some websites prevent right-click to prohibit the user from copying or pasting content. This is a misuse of a browser feature that is designed to allow website owners to provide their own context menu not to block the user from accessing the browser's default context.

How to use the extension? Simply click on the toolbar button if the right-click is blocked on a website. That's it! Note that this extension uses a non-persistent background script which means it is not using any resource unless the toolbar button is pressed. So compared to the other alternatives it can be considered more efficient implementation.

Some extra use cases:

  1. Copy image from image hosting websites such as Instragram (www.instagram.com) or 500px (500px.com).
  2. Copy video from video or clip hosting websites such as Instragram or Tik Tak (www.tiktok.com).

Features:

  1. Reenables defualt context menu based on the context (for image, you will get image context menu, and for video, you will get the default video context menu with "Save As" context menu item)
  2. Reenables copy and paste on websites that prevert them (unblocks clipboard)
  3. One-click toggle on and off
  4. Automatically gets enabled on the user requested websites
  5. Disables web distraction by muting "window.alert" and other intruptting notifications
