User Reviews

The add-on generally enables text selection on Android (especially YouTube) and on desktop Firefox, and can bypass copy protections on some sites (like TIDAL or Japanese grammar sites). However, reliability varies: Android behavior is inconsistent, Windows support is lacking, and changes often require a browser restart. Some sites remain unaffected (e.g., Facebook) and others use anti-selection tricks beyond CSS. Overall, it's useful where it works, but not universal and may require restarts.
Pros
  • Enables text selection on Android, notably on YouTube and YouTube comments
  • Also works on desktop Firefox
  • Bypasses copy protection on some sites, enabling copy/paste (e.g., TIDAL)
  • Enabled by default after installation
Cons
  • Android support is inconsistent; some reviews report no effect
  • Changes often require a browser restart to take effect
  • Does not work on Windows
  • Some sites use anti-select tricks beyond the CSS method; results may vary
  • No effect on Facebook

Is Text Selection Unblocker Safe?

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.

Text Selection Unblocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
