Dawn Reeve (ID: 000000c5a4e47839) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/03/2023 I do like it, however would be better if maybe the Notification doesn't require you to click on the OK button. I know it sounds lazy, but once you have already tried to paste, to then move your mouse up and click on OK, to then go back to the field and paste (CTRL V) might not be the best UI decision. If there was a way to make the notification come up, and then automatically disappear, and for you to just CTRL-V (or paste) right away after the failed Paste It attempt it might make the interface and useability work. I will also say - out of 10 websites, only 1 worked without the saving to Clipboard issue. So this isn't really as helpful as I was hoping... BUT... this appears to be a Chrome behaviour more than the extension - because Firefox doesn't have the limitation when using similar things. Thank you for creating this though, it is still a good tool having the text getting pasted to clipboard when you need is still better than having to type it all out again :D
