I'm surprised no one has come up with a browser extension yet that circumvents this. I'm guessing it would be fairly trivial to do so.

- kybernetikos 7y agoI'd be surprised if the built in print to pdf function doesn't already circumvent this.
- anjsimmo 7y agoGoogle (ab)uses the @media print CSS rule to hide the message content and replace it with "Printing is not allowed by the sender of this message." However, I've found you can print confidential emails if you comment-out/disable all the @media print rules using Firefox developer tools: https://grokprivacy.org/2018/06/24/archiving-self-destructing-gmail-with-firefox/ https://grokprivacy.org/2018/06/24/archiving-self-destructin...
- rndgermandude 7y agoThere is honestly no actual demand for something like that, I'd guess. Screenshots are easy, and your OS usually comes with a built-in tool. And how to use that tool (or find a tool) is a matter of typing "how do I screenshot on X" into google. And if even this is still too "technical" for a user, I have seen people take literal shots of their screens, with their phone camera or whatever.
- michaelmior 7y agoSure, but screenshots don't give you text. Sure you can re-type or use some OCR tool after the fact, but it's one extra step.
