This was one of those things that frustrated me so much that we ended building this natively into Orion browser (Tools menu -> Allow Copy & Paste). [1] One of the joys of building your own browser. [1] https://kagi.com/orion

The problem with orion browser is it is not opensource.

A couple alternative ways to paste, at least in my current Linux environment:

- Paste the text somewhere else, then drag it onto the text field

- Highlight the text elsewhere, and middle-click on the text field

I've only ever found one site that blocks both of those too.

I mean it doesn’t really offend me but it would be difficult to say recommend it to my mom. I guess it’s just me.

Agreed. It doesn't offend me personally, but it's considered NSFW language in most workplaces. I would never name a project like that

> NSFW language in most workplaces

It would have been fine literally everywhere I've worked.

I'm not saying there aren't places where this can be an issue. Partly this seems to depend on the region – in the US, in particular, it seems to be a big no-no, which I find odd considering how fucking often fuck is in fucking American media – the fuck is up with that? But outside of that? It seems to be mostly a non-issue.

Cheers for making Orion. I don't know how you guys managed to support Firefox and Chrome extensions (on iOS) but it's amazing and made moving from Android so much easier!

Why allow pages to disable copy & paste at all?

There are semi-legitimate cases where this is warranted. For instance when looking at a Notion database, standard Ctrl-F is almost useless, and document search needs to go through the notion API to return results, sometimes even related to the entries that are displayed on screen. I say "semi-legitimate" because I actually wish they'd map to a different shortcut, but can see the case for user wanted the remapping. Th…

Shouldn’t CMD+F be reserved to searching the current document/context? Something like CMD+K should be used for a more global search.

Right up there with hijacking Ctrl-F.

Hell just hijacking any standard browser controls is infuriating when it catches you out when you're just not paying complete attention. Edit: Apparently Firefox has the `permissions.default.shortcuts` config option UNKNOWN: Services.perms.UNKNOWN_ACTION [0] ALLOW: Services.perms.ALLOW_ACTION [1] BLOCK: Services.perms.DENY_ACTION [2] PROMPT: Services.perms.PROMPT_ACTION [3] And in the site information panel you can d…

A huge thanks for making me aware of this. permissions.default.shortcuts firmly set to 2.

Along what axis?

Size of security team? Mean time to patch actively exploited CVEs? Availability of source? Etc

Same as Safari in that regard, albeit with a much smaller team (we inherit upstream patches from the WebKit team and publish them regularly, sometimes even before Safari like in the case of patching iLeakage vulnerability).
