We make Highlight and Copy Protected Text, so we are not neutral. Facts checked on 9 November 2026; extensions change, so check the store listing before installing.
What to check before you install
- Publisher: a real company or person with a website and contact details.
- Privacy policy: it should say that page content and what you copy are not collected.
- Scope: it should change selection, copy, paste and right-click — not inject ads or change search results.
- Control: a switch per site, so the extension is not active everywhere all the time.
- Updates and reviews: recent updates, and no recent reviews about ads or redirects.

When to choose which
- Once in a while: use the built-in methods.
- Often, and you want simple toggles from a known publisher: Highlight and Copy Protected Text.
- You only need right-click: a focused right-click extension is enough.
- The text is an image: none of these help — use Image Text to Text.
