Allow Right-Click Extension

This extension is a clean implementation to re-enable right-click context menu on websites that prevent it. Some websites prevent right-click to prohibit the user from copying or pasting content. This is a misuse of a browser feature that is designed to allow website owners to provide their own context menu not to block the user from accessing the browser's default context.

How to use the extension?
Simply click on the toolbar button if the right-click is blocked on a website. That's it! Note that this extension uses a non-persistent background script which means it is not using any resource unless the toolbar button is pressed. So compared to the other alternatives it can be considered more efficient implementation.

Some extra use cases:
1. Copy image from image hosting websites such as Instragram (www.instagram.com) or 500px (500px.com).
2. Copy video from video or clip hosting websites such as Instragram or Tik Tak (www.tiktok.com).

Features:
1. Reenables defualt context menu based on the context (for image, you will get image context menu, and for video, you will get the default video context menu with \"Save As\" context menu item)
2. Reenables copy and paste on websites that prevert them (unblocks clipboard)
3. One-click toggle on and off
4. Automatically gets enabled on the user requested websites
5. Disables web distraction by muting \"window.alert\" and other intruptting notifications
6. Unblocks text selection (\"user-select\", \"-moz-user-select\", and \"-webkit-user-select\")
7. Unblocks pointer event blocking (\"pointer-events\")
8. Unblocks image access within HTML5's custom elements
9. Open-source on GitHub
10. Unblocks touch events on Android (touchstart and touchend)

Maxime (ID: 00000016fe89dba1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2024 Great extension. Not only does it fulfill its promise, it also does it in a very elegant and ergonomic way, so it's a breeze to use. It's very easy to enable and disable right-click overriding simply by clicking the extension icon, and it takes effect instantaneously. Update: any way you could think about making a similar extension for disabling the shortcuts set by the website? - It sometimes happens to me to do Ctrl+Shift+I to access developer tools, but on some websites it just doesn't work. - Websites like Google Docs have a lot of shortcuts, with only a few I use, so my extension shortcuts get overridden - Or more recently, I tried maintaining the "End" key pressed on YouTube in order to scroll to the end of the command section in order to search through them using Ctrl+F, but it just skipped to the end of the video, and the only option remaining was to scroll, and scroll, and scroll endlessly. It would be great to have an extension that lets us disable keyboard shortcut override on the click on an icon, or when using a certain keyboard shortcuts (in cases where the website doesn't disable ALL keyboard shortcuts)

Dragon Ball (ID: 000000a846c83a89) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/12/2023 This is the reason why your YouTube history has started to show odd videos if you've been searching through your addons and wondering why that happened. The addon may have been sold out to a click farm by the creator.
