Is there a firefox addon that will block attempts to prevent the user from selecting text? Is this possible?

  • Do you mean all kinds of attempts that could try to prevent this (e.g., with CSS or JavaScript), or does noselect refer to a specific technology?

    Forgive my ignorance, I assumed CSS was the only way. Something that successfully kills it on a substantial number of webpages would do.

NoScript (NS)

Most site protection (noselect, norightclick and whatnot) usually use JavaScript (JS). NS by default blocks every JS not whitelisted by default (easily configurable whitelisting). Not allowing an entire site and connected resources to use additional scripts may make the page look basic.

  • This would probably work but mucks up modern websites... I went for the other solution.
