Copy Unblocker

Re-enable text selection, copy and right-click on sites that block them, without breaking the site.

Some websites stop you from selecting text, copying, or using the right-click menu. Copy Unblocker turns these back on, without breaking the website. Most unblockers work by removing the website's code, which breaks menus, editors and buttons. Copy Unblocker lets the website's code run normally and only switches off the parts that block you. WHAT IT UNBLOCKS • Text selection, including text styled with "user-select: none" • Copy and Ctrl+C • The right-click menu on selected text and images • Text inside iframes and web components (shadow DOM) IT ALSO • Stops sites adding "Read more at..." to the text you copy • Stops sites replacing what you copied with their own message • Brings back the selection highlight when a site hides it DOESN'T BREAK SITES • Online editors (documents, notes, code) keep their own copy, paste and shortcuts • Web apps keep their custom right-click menus • Runs only on the sites you turn it on for HOW TO USE 1. Open a site that blocks copying. 2. Click the Copy Unblocker icon and turn on "Unblock on this site". 3. Reload the page. If a site is still stubborn, choose Aggressive mode. It also unblocks right-click everywhere and Ctrl+A, and stops the page from clearing your selection. You can also turn it on for all sites at once. PRIVACY Copy Unblocker collects no data. It has no servers, no ads and no tracking. It only saves the list of sites you turned it on for, inside your own Chrome. GOOD TO KNOW Text shown as an image or drawn on a canvas (some PDF and e-book viewers) has no real text to copy, so no extension can unblock it. For those, right-click and use "Search with Google Lens" to copy the text. Please respect copyright: use copied text for notes, quotes and accessibility, not for republishing other people's work.
