I assume there's something similar for Safari on Mac, but I don't know.

When I run into a site that doesn't want to let me select/copy text, I screen shot the page -- in Photos on iOS, and in Preview on MacOS, selecting text out of an image generally works great. Just tap and hold a moment on iOS, or hover a moment on MacOS, and then drag/click-drag to select.

[PSA] Firefox has this built in already: Hold Shift while right-clicking. Been a while since I tested on a fresh profile, but I don’t believe this requires any preference tweaking or about:config stuff.

Thanks for the PSA! I have relied on the "Allow Right-Click" extension for a while now.

Is there something similar for ctrl+f?

I'd like to see this feature in all browsers.
