How Enable Copy Everywhere Works

No configuration. No accounts. One click to restore copy-paste and right-click on any website.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1: Install from Chrome Web Store

    Click "Add to Chrome" on this page or visit the Chrome Web Store. Click "Add extension" in the Chrome dialog to confirm.

  2. Step 2: Pin to Your Toolbar (Recommended)

    Click the puzzle icon in Chrome's toolbar, find Enable Copy Everywhere, and click the pin icon. This keeps the icon visible for one-click access.

  3. Step 3: Navigate to a Blocked Website

    Go to any website where right-clicking is disabled, text selection is blocked, or copy-paste doesn't work.

  4. Step 4: Click the Extension Icon

    Click the Enable Copy Everywhere icon in your Chrome toolbar. The icon darkens to confirm the extension is active on this domain.

  5. Step 5: Copy Freely on All Pages

    Right-click, select text, and copy-paste work immediately. Your setting is remembered for all pages on this domain.

What Does It Actually Do?

Websites block copying using JavaScript event listeners (like oncopy , onselectstart , oncontextmenu) and CSS properties like user-select: none.

Enable Copy Everywhere removes these restrictions by overriding the event handlers and CSS rules — giving you back the native browser copy-paste and right-click behavior. It never reads, stores, or transmits the page content itself.

Common Questions

It works on the vast majority of websites that use JavaScript or CSS to block right-clicking and text selection. A small number of sites use server-side or advanced techniques that cannot be overridden by a browser extension.

Enable Copy Everywhere does not collect any browsing data, personal information, or usage statistics. It runs entirely locally in your browser. The developer (addonzone) has declared that user data is never sold or shared.

Some websites use advanced server-side techniques or complex JavaScript frameworks to prevent copying. If the extension doesn't work on a site, you can report it using the extension's built-in reporting feature and the developer will investigate.

In rare cases, removing copy protection scripts on very complex web apps may cause minor visual glitches. Clicking the icon again to disable the extension on that site will immediately restore normal behavior.
