Copy Please! - Clean, Format & Auto Copy Text Anywhere

Automatically copy selected text to clipboard and allow copying by removing copy protection.

Stop pressing Ctrl+C. With Copy Please!, the moment you select text it's already on your clipboard - and you can clean, transform and unlock it along the way. No accounts, no tracking - everything runs locally in your browser. ▬▬▬ What it does ▬▬▬ ▐ Auto-copy on selection Select text once and it's copied immediately.
