Firefox: about:config: dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled, toggle to "false" (default is true).
Result: websites can no longer block you from pasting things into form fields on your own browser on your own computer.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoso you can paste with the menu? Because I guess they would just catch the keyboard events?
- jtbayly 7y agoNope. Don’t think so.
- boring_twenties 7y agoI think they must block catching Ctrl+C/V/X, because those key combos work for me with that flag.
- Sylamore 7y agoI used to set this permanently, but discovered if you use facebook making status updates and comments become broken due to how fb seems to scan your input to apply styling. But I often have to toggle it off temporarily to bypass the stupid copy/paste blocks.
- Ayesh 7y agoYou can create a bookmarklet to disable paste event listeners.
- coremoff 7y agonote for firefox users, that this will break copy/paste in google docs
- CaptainMarvel 7y agoThere is a Firefox extension called Don’t Fuck With Paste which let’s you toggle this per-website with a button.
- boring_twenties 7y agoIn what situation would you want this enabled?
- CaptainMarvel 7y agoWhen a website is fucking with your ability to copy or paste!
- marcosdumay 7y agoThen you'll discover sites that consume your password by Javascript in the onKeyPressed event handler.
- PeterisP 7y agoI tried this, but this breaks some web apps where I need clipboardevents to work (e.g. Google Docs). There needs to be a more granular option for this somehow, possibly in a plugin.
