About this extension
Annoyed when websites prevent you from selecting or copying text? Enable Copy Extension gives you back control!

This powerful yet easy-to-use extension seamlessly overrides common techniques used by websites to disable text selection and copying. Whether it's CSS tricks or JavaScript blocking, Enable Copy Extension works behind the scenes to ensure you can access the information you need.

Key Features:

Universal Copying: Select and copy text from virtually any webpage, bypassing restrictions.

Two Powerful Modes:
Standard Mode (Default): Reliably enables copying on most sites using safe CSS and event overrides, designed for maximum compatibility.
Force Mode (Use with Caution): Employs more aggressive techniques (including JavaScript prototype modification) for extremely stubborn sites. Warning: May interfere with some website features like buttons or login forms. A page reload might be needed after use.

Site Whitelist: Easily disable the extension on specific websites where it's not needed or causes issues. Add sites directly from the popup or manage your list on the dedicated Options page.

Simple Popup Control: Manage everything from the toolbar:
Quickly enable or disable the extension globally.
Switch between Standard and Force modes for the current tab.
Instantly add the current site to your whitelist.
Access the full whitelist manager.

Open Source & Privacy Focused: The extension is fully open-source! We respect your privacy; no data is collected or transmitted. You can view the code at [https://github.com/Oleg-cmd/Enable-Copy-Extension].

How it Works:

Enable Copy Extension intelligently modifies CSS rules (user-select, pointer-events) and intercepts potentially blocking JavaScript events (oncopy, oncontextmenu, onselectstart, etc.) to restore normal copy functionality. Force Mode goes a step further for difficult cases.

Stop letting websites dictate how you interact with their content. Install Enable Copy Extension and copy freely!

Please note: While Force Mode is powerful, it's recommended to use Standard Mode first. If you encounter issues on a specific site, consider adding it to the whitelist.
