"bUt ItS a SeCuRiTy RiSk." Yeah maybe when most people were keeping their passwords in a spreadsheet. However now that they are all encrypted in password management programs its a vulnerability. If I can't generate a 40+ char password for your site then I will not be using your site if I can help it.
you are correct that most people dont keep their passwords in spreadsheets. a lot of people prefer a plaintext file on their desktop, or a note in their phones!
Lifehack: if you use the same password everywhere you don't have to note anything down.
bonus: make it something easy to remember, like your year of birth
thanks grandpa, helps a lot
you should do tech support for a living ❤️
😭
I don't even think that's what they were trying to stop, I think they just believe people making bots would only paste.
So put a timeout on too many failed logins instead.
I'm not defending the practice lmao
Probably the same ones that block “copy” for when you want to select text.
Or even better: the ones that add bullshit like "--Copied from shitheads.xyz" to all copied text
Oh, haven’t seen that one yet. Another irritation to look forward to.
Those same people think that colorblind people don't exist and there's no accessibility reason to select text. 😡
In mst cases it's a simple css property.
Btw, can webdevs please stop reimplementing scroll via js? Always a slow and buggy mess.

100% required plugin for the modern web. :(
Can we get the same thing for when they hijack the back button to send you to some other promotional bs? I can't stand that.
the back button is broken on many legitimite sites for other reasons. i dont trust it
links go in a new tab
...until certain links are, for some idiotic reason, also handled through javascript, and don't work with "open link in new tab" or middle click. Screw those sites!
Oh fuck you JavaScript-link-handling.
Middle clicks link
Opens new blank tab...
Web 2.0 was a mistake.
I'd prefer a plugin which doxxes the website designer and gives me their home address
that's a bit brash.
Your back button my choice ❌
Your address my choice ✅

so instead of linking to the valuable add-on, you post a screenshot of a screenshot of the store page.
For people actually interested in this, it's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/don-t-fuck-with-paste/
You're in microblogmemes not usefulfirefoxextensions
The real extensions were the ones we shared in the comments section

Don't fuck with copy too, my schools e-textbook thing won't let you copy text when quoting it for an essay.
Edit: I appreciate the help but this is on a school laptop, we can't install anything nor open inspect element. Also I already found a workaround by cntrl+c-ing before I lift the left click and it goes to highlight mode.
wow that must be super annoying. id rip my hair out.
Install Windows Powertoys, activate the Text Extractor plugin, Windows+Shift+t, profit!
Cengage? McGraw?
Both have that problem in my classes so I went hard into the open access stuff for my students.
I always just find a pdf to use even if I had to pay for the service. One time the pictures they provided (tables) were so difficult to read that I tracked down the original source material and sent copies to the professor and the rest of the class.
Now that is an everyday hero in action.

My textbook on Norton has all the text in tags if you inspect the page. It's annoying to have to go to such lengths to copy text, but it works.

I ran into this just the other day, a site wouldn't let me paste my password into the "confirm password" field when signing up. Had to resort to editing the HTML properties because there's no way I'm manually typing in my long-ass randomly generated password.

- You can change that setting in your about:config by setting dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false.
- This sadly prevents pasting (T)OTPs for websites that choose to have 6 separate input fields. You have to enter these codes manually.
