To work around this I usually drag and drop text pasted into the URL field or somewhere, on my Mac at least. Can I just say though that disabling paste, apparently in the name of security, is the dumbest shit I have ever encountered, right in front of ultra short timeouts everywhere. If only I could meet the people who make these decisions in person...
Why do they think password managers exist?

This is a bit cynical isn't it, when the author is clearly being as transparent as possible about what they need and why, which is due to factors outside their control. Of course you're right in a technical sense. They could do whatever they want later. But still let's celebrate and attitude like this rather than criticizing it.
Sounds to me like GP is complaining about Chrome's permission model, not this particular extension.

> right in front of ultra short timeouts everywhere > If only I could meet the people who make these decisions in person... For what it's worth, I was once forced to implement a half hour auto-logout on a website that could hardly be considered as containing sensitive data because an external pentest firm flagged the lack of a short timeout as an issue. The only way we could show clients a passing pentest was to comp…

why is all of the sudden ctrl-s wrong by the browser?? you make no sense here. you've never needed to save a web page? i guess i'm showing my age, while i don't use it daily, it has been a valuable feature for many reasons before. Edit: >Then the vast majority of users are wrong. I strongly disagree, and people unwilling to be flexible ruins the experience as those people tend to be the minority
You’re absolutely correct though, the parent comment seems to think there are absolute right and wrong answers for UI. I think that’s just not true, a good UI is one that works for your customers.
For Safari you can get Don't Fuck with Paste (and lots of other Don't Fuck with X options) with the Stop The Madness extension. https://underpassapp.com/StopTheMadness/
I use both safari and chrome (and dabble in FF), and in my safari usage I haven't actually come across sites that disable paste. I kind of assumed this was built-in to safari, but I may just be getting lucky.
But the best feature of StopTheMadness is that it defeats the google link tracking! I've so missed that feature of whatever chrome extension I was using.

IME this breaks paste functionality in some web apps (eg. certain terminal emulators or text editors)
Who’s using terminal emulators and text editors in their browser? Actually, don’t answer that. I’m afraid of the answer.
Here to write in the comments you use a simple text editor.
Chrome dev tools can also be used to change the code directly. Quite convenient to have the same dev tool behave and look the same on all the different plattforms.
Also, everything ChromeOS related.
Was that so scary?
Right up there with hijacking Ctrl-F.
Stripe’s API documentation does this and it gives me the shits, because it seizes up my M2 MacBook Pro for several seconds. I can’t believe that it’s 2024, and I can’t simply grep some documentation.

I just read through the 65LOC source, and it's because it swaps out an active or inactive extension icon based on your active tab. https://github.com/aaronraimist/DontFuckWithPaste/blob/8cb68...
Huh. That seems not super important to me. Presumably he could make a option/version where the icon didn't change?
Blame ACH. It’s a putrid protocol that is far easier to get wrong than right. Once that daily file is pushed it’s a dozen people’s time to hope to fix a failed transaction, and there is no guarantee that the money will stay where it wasn’t meant to go. It’s one of those things the leaves you feeling “this needs to be better” yet it moves more money than almost any other means. All the upfront friction on users is to…
