How to enable right-click on websites that disable it

Why the right-click menu disappears

A page can listen for the right-click (the contextmenu event) and cancel it, so Chrome's menu never appears — or it shows its own message instead. It is a convenience barrier, not real protection: the browser still has the content.

Method 1: open the menu from the keyboard

On Windows, press Shift + F10 or the menu key (between the right Alt and Ctrl keys on many keyboards). Some sites block this too, because it fires the same event.

Method 2: block JavaScript for this site

1. Click the icon to the left of the address → Site settings.
2. Set JavaScript to Block and reload the page.
3. Right-click works again. Copy what you need.
4. Set JavaScript back to Allow — many sites break without it.

Method 3: an allow-right-click extension

Highlight and Copy Protected Text restores the browser's right-click menu, text selection and copy with one toggle, without breaking the page. Useful when you meet such sites often.

Right-click works, but copying still does not

The site may also block selection or the copy command. See how to copy text from a website that blocks copying.
