Frankly I’m mostly annoyed that my browser allows web sites to block cut and paste, ever. I am capable of making my own decisions over whether I want to cut and paste.
There are plugins that will disallow this. I think the one I use is “don’t fuck with paste”
Ooh, ooh. And for implementing any Javascript or jQuery or whatever that pops up some kind of smarmy message when you right click: Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Plus, that kind of thing is not going to prevent anyone from scraping images from anywhere if they have the capability to lift a finger to press F12.
My host decided to update their TOS to force me to accept binding arbitration, so I Inspect Elemented that right off the page and sent a message to support to end my service effective immediately (had been a paying customer for years). You’re not going to bully me on my own browser…
You can also just run it when you need it rather than having to add an extension. Just add a bookmarklet with the code here and just click it when you encounter a problematic website.
It’ll reduce your attack surface while still getting the job done.

Exactly.

Some do detect open developer tools and nuke the whole page, though.
It won’t block it yes but it will diminish the amount of people doing it which is the point
Never thought to look for an extension for that. Thanks for mentioning it.
