Some websites prevent text copying. I previously used the SuperCopy Chrome extension to bypass website copy restrictions. Later, I discovered that this extension was involved in traffic hijacking behavior: Chrome Extension with 600K Users Contains Malicious Code - V2EX.

Well, I decided to have AI help me write a script instead.

Project Repository: xianmin/userscript-copy-unblocker: Automatically removes copy restrictions

userscript-copy-unblocker

userscript-copy-unblocker is a userscript that automatically removes copy restrictions from web pages, allowing you to freely copy text content.

How to Use

  1. Install a browser extension:
  2. Install the Copy Unblocker script: Click to Install
  3. Visit supported websites, and the script will automatically remove copy restrictions

Adding Support for New Websites

If you want the script to support new websites, you can:

  1. Submit an Issue on GitHub
  2. Or modify the script directly by adding new @match rules at the top of the code

Privacy and Security
