I often copy things and paste them into google translate to translate them into my language.

garyyo ,

looks like its just setting some events, these two lines should clear the anti-select and the anti-right click respectively if pasted into the debug console:

document.body.onselectstart = undefined
document.oncontextmenu = undefined
CrayonRosary ,

Firefox has an add-on called "Allow Right-Click" that lets you easily toggle blocking right-click scripts. Some sites offer a useful context menu, like Google Drive, so you don't necessarily want to always be blocking them. Hence the toggle.

Or you can simply shift + right click

CrayonRosary ,

Interesting. I'll give that a try.

0x2d ,

you reminded me of a site that was "down for maintenance" (they were just spamming an alert) after using the block multiple alerts button in firefox, it works fine

flashback to my first website in the 90s that put cute messages on right click.

just in case someone feels like right-clicking. (CTRL+Shift+K opens the console in Firefox, but shht)

current ,

god i even get the popup on mobile

Switchy85 ,

If you use brave and block scripts you can download all you want. Not that there's anything really worth taking from there.

This was more or less standard 20 years ago!

Even disabling the ability to select text and sometimes also dissabling the Ctrl + C shortcut!

SirQuackTheDuck ,

The latter is still done by old code and outdated management that thinks disabling the clipboard is "more secure". It's fucking infuriating.

bloom_of_rakes ,

Now I want to go there and steal everything.

How hilariously useless.

progettarsi ,

google lens ready

Olgratin_Magmatoe ,

CTRL + U opens the page source code

Neon ,

you can just use noscript to block javascript

Olgratin_Magmatoe ,

That works too. There are so many ways to get around this.

Cosmos7349 ,

extra hilarious, since most of the content-stealing things these days are scraping bots. So allowing no-script content is extra convenient!

Mildly amusing.

CancerMancer ,

Audiophile equipment is just magic crystal bullshit for pseudointellectuals.

rab ,

To an extent yes but it's essentially just extreme deminishing returns

FiskFisk33 ,

there are both categories.
Some things are marginally better and incredibly expensive.
Other things, such as garden hose power snakes and these "audiophile crystals" are just pure scam.

rab ,

I've never even heard of audiophile crystals, I didn't realize that was a direct reference lol

barsoap ,

I'd be all up for some diminishing returns but the price premium is nowhere close to adequate. For the price of an overbuilt headphone amp you can buy a soldering iron and parts for three amps that are four times as overbuilt. And include a metrology-grade DAC in all of them.

And, yes, my headphone cable is oxygen-free copper. I simply chose the cheapest suitable cable I could find at Thomann, the stuff is so cheap they're throwing it in there for diminishing returns in sales.

Gallardo994 ,

Isn't there a browser extension to prevent exactly that? Like, "Allow right click"?

Willdrick ,

No need, at least on Firefox you can hold down shift (or alt? I never remember) + right click to bypass such restrictions

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Can confirm, just tested it on that site and it works (it's shift).

Overshoot2648 ,

There are extensions that will download any media you want as long as it is in the source. There's a double left click to save an image one that is very useful.

Now that's funny

XD

Lojcs ,

That website doesn't even display the text in chromium based browsers for me

ICastFist ,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I wonder what percentage of sites that still use that are either pieces of shit, or just pirates trying to fend off competing pirates
