## Description

### 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.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise Allow Right-Click for restoring the browser's native context menu, enabling copy/paste on sites that block it, and offering a convenient one-click toggle with per-site allowances. It's described as fast, lightweight, and with a clean, unobtrusive design. However, experiences vary: a few sites intermittently break or crash (e.g., some YouTube actions), compatibility issues with Google Docs and Bluesky have been reported, and Android support is lacking. Overall, strong productivity gains for many sites, with some edge-case drawbacks.

### Pros

- Restores the normal right-click menu on sites that block it
- Allows copy, paste, and text selection where right-click is restricted
- One-click toggle with per-site allowances that it remembers
- Fast and lightweight with no noticeable slowdown
- Clean, user-friendly design
