"If it helps anyone, this Chrome extension has worked every time I've tried it: https://github.com/jswanner/DontFuckWithPaste"

Shouldn't chrome itself be a "don't fuck with paste" tool ?

As the world moves to the browser as the OS (essentially) it's imperative that the browser respect end user wishes and behave as a sentry against malicious websites and malicious website behavior.




Most of the time websites disable paste by registering "onPaste" events. How do you allow websites to keep doing that when necessary, but not allow the websites that break the paste?


> when necessary

When would I ever want a website to know the difference between me pasting and me typing some text?


Kudos +3

Edit: Does anyone else feel... increasingly... trapped?
