Using Firefox, Shift-Right click shows the context menu. After that you can do your usual inspect etc.
Is there even proven benefits of blocking right click security wise? I wonder what is the rationale behind these decisions?

So the solution is to give the extension access to your banking site? Doesn't seem ideal. Extension permissions still can't block an extension from making network requests if they have access to a site, right? (Not implying this extension does something nefarious, but more the general risk of such extensions especially when we hear that sometimes extensions get sold or their authors accounts get compromised...)
I completely agree. At least on Firefox there is an extension that restores right click and it is open source. If you want to be extra sure you can audit the code and package it yourself. This on the other hand appears to be closed source. Even if it is benign now, there is no telling when it might be sold and new owners may have more nefarious intentions.
I'll never betray the trust of my users, and anyway it's not going to be sold. Nobody has ever made me an offer, and it's unlikely that anyone could afford to acquire it. The extension is worth more to me as an indie dev than it would be worth to anyone else.

You should definitely vet the developer before you install any software. I stake my reputation on my software, as a professional Mac developer for over 15 years. I'm pretty well known in that community, and my extension has also been well reviewed by the press.

> So the solution is to give the extension access to your banking site? Doesn't seem ideal. I use a dedicated browser for all types of banking as you can't be too careful. Also, I don't run any extension on it for this same reason of being careful.

I use it all the time, is there a built in way(no extensions) to also force text to be selectable? ATM I need to find the css rule that disables select and siable it from dev tools

I was with you right until the end.

I think you actually can. ;-) There's a difference between being prudent and living in fear. The former is of course good, but the latter can make someone miss out on a lot of good things in life. Including good software.
