Brave has a ‘force paste’ option in the right click context menu, that way you don’t need an extension. Awesome feature

  Why is disabling paste even a thing that a website is allowed to do?

    I'm aware of one case where it's a useful feature: the "type this name to delete" form on GitHub (found elsewhere as well). The purpose, which is to make sure the user knows what they're deleting permanently, is defeated if they can copy the end of the URL string and paste it straight in. Adding a bit of friction there is helpful. The actual answer to your question is more like "someone thought it was a good idea and now we're stuck with it", though. More browsers should offer a force paste in the context menu, because when said is done, it's my browser, and if I want to do something, I should be able to do it.

      > I'm aware of one case where it's a useful feature: the "type this name to delete" form on GitHub While I like the dialogue it’s only a step up over a confirmation dialog (forcing you to switch from clicking to typing). So disabling paste don’t add anything to that. I’d rather they have a trash section so I can undelete or force remove the project.
