Unblock copying and text selection

Restores the ability to select and copy text on pages that deliberately block it.

Code to copy

['copy', 'cut', 'contextmenu', 'selectstart', 'dragstart', 'mousedown'].forEach(function (evt) {
  document.addEventListener(evt, function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); }, true);
});
document.querySelectorAll('*').forEach(function (el) {
  el.style.userSelect = 'auto';
  el.style.webkitUserSelect = 'auto';
});
document.onselectstart = null;
document.oncopy = null;
document.oncontextmenu = null;

How to use this example

  1. Copy the code with the button above.
  2. Install JustZix (2 minutes) and open the extension on the target page.
  3. Add a new rule matching that page.
  4. Paste the code into the rule's JavaScript panel and save — it runs on every page visit.

Does this example work?

Snippets are useless without somewhere to paste them.

JustZix takes 2 minutes to install and runs your code on every matching page. No account, no payment.
