Allow Right-Click

Re-enable the possibility to use the context menu on sites that overrides it

Allow Right-Click Chrome Extension

Allow Right-Click is a straightforward browser extension designed to restore the right-click context menu on websites that disable it, enabling users to copy, paste, and interact with site content freely. Instead of interfering constantly, this extension activates only when the user clicks its toolbar button, making it resource-efficient with a non-persistent background script.

Key Features:

  • Restores default right-click menus contextually; images will show image options, videos will show video context menus including "Save As".
  • Unblocks text selection and clipboard operations on restricted websites.
  • One-click toggle to enable or disable functionality easily.
  • Automatically activates on user-specified sites.
  • Suppresses disruptive alerts and notifications that hinder browsing.
  • Overcomes pointer event blocking and access restrictions in HTML5 custom elements.

Use cases include easily copying images from Instagram and 500px or saving videos from platforms such as TikTok. The extension is open-source and available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.

User reviews

Users generally praise 'Allow Right-Click' for restoring right-click functionality easily and effectively across many websites, making actions like image viewing and downloads simpler. It is considered a top extension by many. However, it doesn't work on Android and its automatic activation feature can be unreliable, requiring manual enabling on some sites. Some mention Firefox's partial built-in workaround but still find this add-on valuable.

Does what it says on the tin. No more dinking around in dev tools to restore basic browser functionality.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Allow Right-Click requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Allow Right-Click is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
