Description
Highlight Unlocker restores normal text selection and copy behavior on websites that try to block it.
Many websites use scripts, CSS, and event traps to interfere with highlighting, copying, right-clicking, drag selection, or keyboard shortcuts. Highlight Unlocker helps remove those restrictions so you can read, research, study, and save information more easily.
Key Features:
- Unlock text selection on restricted websites
- Helps prevent websites from overriding copied text
- Restore copy, cut, and select-all behavior
- Reduce website interference with your selections and copy actions
- Preserve normal drag selection on difficult pages
- Choose your own highlight color
- Blacklist sites where you do not want the extension to run
- Toggle the extension on or off from the popup
Built for reading, research, study, and everyday browsing without unnecessary text restrictions.
