Allows users to grant direct clipboard access to web pages that use the W3C Clipboard API.
Clipboard Permission Manager Extension
Clipboard Permission Manager is a browser extension which allows users to grant JavaScript access to the clipboard on a per-page basis. It should work with any page that uses the W3C Clipboard API.
Chrome restricts clipboard access to very specific cases, each of which requires user interaction, and does not provide a mechanism for manually granting access such that user interaction is not required going forward.
This extension is intended to provide such a mechanism, and it is our hope that mainstream browsers will provide such a mechanism on their own in the future, rendering this extension unnecessary.
This extension is open source and licensed under the MIT license. Its source code can be found on GitHub:
