CopyUnlock

About

CopyUnlock removes the most common ways websites prevent you from copying, pasting, selecting, or autofilling.

What it does

Forces text selection on pages that use user-select: none to block highlighting.
Neutralises JavaScript handlers that intercept copy, cut, paste, right-click, drag, and selection events.
Strips clipboard hijacking — pasting only gives you what you selected, never an appended "Read more at example.com".
Unlocks paste on form fields where sites block it (banking signup, competitor-restricted shop fields, etc.).
Re-enables autofill: clears autocomplete="off" and password-manager opt-out attributes (data-lpignore, data-1p-ignore, data-bwignore).
Removes transparent overlay elements that block selection on news sites.
Pulls focus back from off-screen iframes that hijack keyboard shortcuts (a common Shopify-theme issue with Lite-YouTube embeds).
How it works

On-demand by default: click the toolbar icon or press Ctrl+Shift+U (Cmd+Shift+U on Mac) to activate the extension on the current tab.
Always-on mode is opt-in: enable it in the popup to have CopyUnlock run automatically on every page. This requires granting access to all sites; the extension makes no network requests and stores nothing remotely.
What it does NOT do

Does not bypass DRM, encrypted media, or canvas-rendered text. Out of scope.
Does not exfiltrate page content — zero network requests.
Does not modify password fields with autocomplete="new-password" (that's a legitimate signup-form signal).
