Allow Copy + Chrome extension

Allow Copy + is a one-click fix for pages that block copying, text selection, or right-clicking. It's best for anyone who regularly hits copy-protected sites and needs to grab text quickly. The catch: it's a workaround for site restrictions, not a way to bypass paywalls or licensed content protections.

What Allow Copy + does

Allow Copy + removes basic copy-protection scripts that some pages use to block text selection, copying, or right-clicking. Click the icon on a restricted page and it re-enables selection and the context menu, so you can copy text the way you normally would on an unrestricted page.

Allow Copy + free vs paid

Allow Copy + is a free extension built around a single task: lifting copy restrictions on a page. There's no paid tier to unlock additional functionality, since the extension's entire purpose is this one-click fix.

Is Allow Copy + safe to use?

Allow Copy + needs to run scripts on the pages you visit to override the copy-blocking code those pages use. It's focused on a single, visible action rather than reading or collecting page content beyond what's needed to toggle these restrictions off.
