Allow Select And Copy is a powerful Chrome extension designed to unlock text selection and copying on websites that have copy protection enabled. Often, you encounter sites with useful information where selecting or copying text is disabled. This extension automatically enables selection, copying, right-click, and pasting on any webpage after a few seconds.

For websites with stronger restrictions, you can activate the Ultra Mode by pressing ALT + SHIFT + A, which allows selection on even the most protective pages. This seamless tool enhances user experience by giving you control over content accessibility without hassle.

With simple activation and automatic operation, Allow Select And Copy is your go-to solution for bypassing copy protection and efficiently extracting the information you need from the web.

User reviews

Users appreciate "Allow Select And Copy" as a simple and effective tool to enable text selection and copying on websites that normally disable it, saving time and effort. It works well for many, even on sites where other extensions have failed. However, some users report that it stops working over time, especially since it hasn't been updated since 2018, and it doesn't work on image-based text or certain websites. Overall, it is considered one of the best extensions for this purpose despite some occasional functionality issues.

Pros

Effectively allows users to select and copy text from sites that normally restrict copying.
Works well on various websites where other extensions failed.
Saves time by eliminating the need to type out blocked text manually.
Simple and works quickly after installation.
Supports multiple languages and is appreciated by a diverse user base.

Cons

Stopped working for some users, with an outdated last update from 2018.
Does not function on certain sites and sometimes requires 'ultra mode' which also may fail.
Cannot work on content that is an image rather than text, as it only enables text selection.
Some users experience issues like needing to reload the extension for it to work.
Occasional lack of settings customization or unclear settings (e.g., changing from disabled to default).
