Allow Right-Click

Allow Right-Click is a browser extension designed to restore the standard right-click context menu on websites that have disabled it. Many sites block right-click to prevent users from copying or pasting content, but this practice goes against the intended use of the browser's context menu, which is meant to be customized, not disabled. This extension provides a clean and efficient solution to re-enable the default context menu, as well as other blocked actions like text selection, copy, and paste.

Features

• Re-enables the default context menu based on the context: When you right-click on an image, you get the image-specific menu; on a video, you get the video menu with options like "Save As". This ensures you have the appropriate actions for the element you're interacting with.
• Unblocks copy and paste functionality: Some websites prevent you from copying text or pasting into forms. This extension lifts those restrictions, allowing you to use the clipboard freely.
• One-click toggle: A simple click on the toolbar button enables or disables the extension for the current page. This makes it easy to turn it on only when needed, without affecting other sites.
• Automatic activation on user-requested websites: Once you enable the extension on a site, it remembers your preference and automatically applies the fixes on future visits to that site, saving you time.
• Suppresses disruptive alerts: The extension mutes "window.alert" and other intrusive notifications that some sites use to interrupt your browsing, reducing distractions.
• Unblocks text selection: It removes CSS properties like "user-select", "-moz-user-select", and "-webkit-user-select" that prevent you from highlighting text, so you can select and copy text as needed.
• Unblocks pointer events: Some sites use "pointer-events" to disable interaction with certain elements. This extension removes those restrictions, making all elements clickable and interactive.
• Unblocks image access within HTML5 custom elements: This allows you to right-click and save images that are embedded in custom HTML5 components, which are often used on modern websites.
• Unblocks touch events on Android: It restores touchstart and touchend events on Android devices, ensuring that gestures like long-press work correctly on sites that block them.
• Open-source: The source code is available on GitHub, so you can review it for transparency or contribute to its development.

This extension is particularly useful for saving images from social media platforms like Instagram and 500px, or downloading videos from sites like TikTok. It works by using a non-persistent background script, meaning it consumes no resources unless you click the toolbar button. This makes it more efficient than other similar extensions. Whether you're a researcher needing to copy text, a designer collecting inspiration, or just someone who wants to use the web without artificial restrictions, Allow Right-Click gives you back control over your browsing experience.
