Enable right click - allow copy & select

Enable context menus on protected websites. Unblock right click menu. Highlight and allow copy option for all pages works again.

Enable Right Click - Allow Copy & Select is a free Chrome extension designed to unblock right-click menus and enable text selection and copying on websites that restrict these features. With this tool, users can seamlessly activate the context menu and use copy-paste functions even on highly protected web pages.

After installation, simply click the extension icon to enter "copy mode" for the current site. The extension remembers your preferences for future visits, enabling hassle-free access to right-click menus. It works independently per tab and provides clear visual feedback with a green tick when enabled. The extension requires basic tab permissions to function but respects user privacy by not tracking browsing history. A quick page reload after installation ensures smooth operation. Improve your browsing workflow and regain control over text interactions with this handy tool.

User reviews

While the extension successfully enables right-click and copy functions which users appreciate, many reviewers report severe issues including spyware and adware behavior. It frequently opens random ad tabs, redirects browsers to advertisement pages, and causes functional problems on popular sites. Despite fulfilling its advertised purpose, security and usability concerns heavily outweigh its benefits, leading many users to advise against installing it.

Pros

Effectively enables right-click and copy functionality where normally disabled.
Works perfectly and saves time for users needing to copy text.
Simple and functional, fulfilling its primary purpose.

Cons

Contains spyware, malware, or adware components as reported by multiple users.
Automatically opens new tabs with advertisements promoting questionable extensions or software.
Hijacks browser behavior, causing redirections to unwanted advertisement pages.
Causes technical issues like interfering with key functions (e.g., delete key behavior on certain websites like X.com).
Disrupts browser performance, e.g., inability to interact properly with certain sites like maps or Twitter when enabled.

Recent reviews

Opened my browser today to an add for another app - https://boooostsound.com - opened in a new tab. A google search pointed to this extension, apparently this is something that many others have happening as well. It's a free plugin, so I would be ok if they made some money by pushing an occasional add, but there is no branding on the page to indicate that it was from this plugin. Looking through the plugin settings as well as the listing, I was unable to find any transparency that this would be happening. What's more, it's being submitted with a token, assumedly to identify me. If that's the case, the listing on the web store states "This developer declares that your data is... Not being used or transferred for purposes that are unrelated to the item's core functionality" - pushing an identity to another developer seems very unrelated to the core functionality of the plugin. Additionally, why is my browser history needed to copy data on the currently-open page?

I can confirm Spyware/Malware/Adware behavior. I can't believe it's a featured extension.
