TextFlow

Restore normal text selection and copying on pages you can already access.

TextFlow is a privacy-first accessibility tool for pages that disable ordinary text selection, copying, dragging, or the right-click menu. Open the popup and enable it for the current tab; press again to return the page to its original behavior. TextFlow works locally. It has no account, server, analytics, advertising, or tracking. It does not collect page content, selected text, URLs, or browsing history. Required permissions are limited to the active tab, local settings, packaged script injection, and the keyboard command. Choose “Allow on this site” only if you want automatic activation after reload. Chrome then asks for optional access to that specific origin. Inputs, buttons, editors, drag controls, canvas, maps, and media players are deliberately preserved. TextFlow does not bypass logins, subscriptions, DRM, CAPTCHA, downloads, server permissions, browser security pages, or the built-in PDF viewer. Compatibility varies with page structure.
