Can we rebuild Allow Right-Click?

Build a Chrome extension like Allow Right-Click — a Allow Right-Click alternative you own.

If you want to build your own Allow Right-Click, creating a dedicated Chrome extension alternative is straightforward. Websites that disable context menus or text copying rely on standard JavaScript event listeners. By deploying your own lightweight tool, you can neutralize these blocking scripts on demand without exposing your browsing history to third-party tools.

The listing record

What Allow Right-Click does

This extension is a clean implementation to re-enable right-click context menu on websites that prevent it. Some websites prevent right-click to prohibit the user from copying or pasting content. This is a misuse of a browser feature that is designed to allow website owners to provide their own context menu not to block the user from accessing the browser's default context. How to use the extension? Simply click on the toolbar button if the right-click is blocked on a website. That's it! Note that this extension uses a non-persistent background script which means it is not using any resource unless the toolbar button is pressed. So compared to the other alternatives it can be considered more efficient implementation. Some extra use cases: 1. Copy image from image hosting websites such as Instragram (www.instagram.com) or 500px (500px.com). 2.

• Full transparency over injected scripts on sensitive pages

What it costs vs what you'd save

The starter prompt

Build a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that re-enables right-clicking and text copying on restricted sites. When the user clicks the action toolbar icon, inject a content script into the active tab and all its frames that stops propagation for contextmenu, selectstart, copy, cut, and dragstart event handlers, while applying CSS rules to override user-select: none.
