As web browsers have gotten more privacy-aware, native apps have fallen behind. This is just another example of that. Recent versions of Chrome show a prompt when websites do this in javascript.

> Recent versions of Chrome show a prompt when websites do this in javascript. Tin foil hat version: “ ... when website’s other then Google’s do this in JavaScript”... (It’s sad how much trust Goog have lost, at least with me. I don’t seriously thing Goog would try to slip that behaviour into Chrome, but it’s close enough to believable to make it a funny/not funny response...)

  Well, I mean... Chrome does ship with a Google Docs "app" that lets the site access the clipboard for right-click pasting.
