I hate whoever that was

I believe you can hold ALT then select on Firefox when that comes up, but I don't think I've seen it in years.

It doesn’t work much of the time, in my experience. I followed this note on the reviews for the extension and it did work, though I’m not sure what the full implications of it may be as yet:
“You don't need this - don't use an addon that has access to your copy/paste and does who knows what with it. about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. No Addon needed.”

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

You don't need this - In about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false. No Addon needed.

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

In about:config, set dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.

Public computers should just have their pastebin locked.

They shouldn't mess with things on my personal computer.

[honytawk@lemmy.zip]

If all the other things fail, you can still use an auto-typer.

no, thats another layer down. hell + ultra

On macOS:

Love that Keyboard Maestro has an “Insert Text By Typing” feature/macro where text streams from your cursor

It isn't right you need an extension for it, but here we are. Don't F*** With Paste

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

Especially for things like account numbers. No, you're not increasing security, you idiots, you're increasing human error!

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

No they shouldn't. They should require a guest account that clears the session on logout. If you fail to log out when you're finished, well, mistakes have consequences. I'm tired of being handcuffed so incompetent people can have their hands held.

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

Well, stop. The problem is caused by mid-level managers who think they know better than the Worldwide Web Consortium.

1. User pastes something into site
2. data still pasted as normal
3. JScript event clears clipboard and tells user this.

Literally just as secure and better behavior. Just use your brain for a few seconds.

[lodemike@lemmy.today]

No. The problem is browsers enforcing it.

[hessenjunge@discuss.tchncs.de]

On Firefox it is some setting under about:config, no need for an extension.

[rippleeffect@lemm.ee]

Which makes taking notes while the video is playing basically impossible

[__init__@programming.dev]

Nice, didn’t know about that one. I imagine there are side effects to disabling it globally though? Those goofy OTP code inputs implemented as six single digit inputs jumps to mind, they probably rely on the paste event. The extension works similarly but lets you only enable it for problematic sites.

[maccentric@sh.itjust.works]

I just found it recently when DFWP failed to allow me to paste on a site (which happens quite often in my experience).
I had the same thoughts about this setting but so far I haven’t noticed anything.
