The 'Allow Right Click' browser extension is designed for users who encounter websites that disable the right-click context menu, often to prevent content copying. This extension allows users to re-enable the right-click functionality on such websites by clicking a button in the browser toolbar.
Key Features
- Enables right-click functionality on websites where it has been disabled.
- Injects a script into a webpage only when the user manually requests it by clicking the extension's button.
- Uses a non-persistent background script to avoid negatively impacting browser performance.
- Allows for automatic unblocking of right-click functionality for defined hostnames.
- Supports wildcard hostname matching for unblocking subdomains.
How It Works
- Users install the 'Allow Right Click' extension from the browser's extension store.
- When on a website that has disabled right-click, the user clicks the extension's toolbar button.
- The extension injects a small script to remove the restriction on the context menu.
- Users can then right-click and use the context menu as usual.
Benefits
The extension is particularly useful for users who need to access the context menu on websites that restrict it without providing an alternative. It is lightweight, as it only activates upon user request, and does not run unnecessary scripts in the background.
