I always found these anti-right-click scripts funny since they usually don’t block Ctrl+S to save the page, Ctrl+U to view source, or Ctrl+P to print (or these days, F12 to open the browser dev tools)

My personal favorite is Ctrl+Shift+C which brings up Dev tools in selection mode, so you can click on the picture or whatever and be taken straight to its HTML code.

Ooooh as a developer I am very grateful for this tip

It also is a bit annoying that that is the keybinding, because whenever I have to copy something from the browser to the terminal, I must remind myself not to do Ctrl-shift-c as I would in the terminal.

Shift + right-click will override all this BS in Firefox.

JavaScript is no match for wget -r.

But then you find that website used JavaScript to calculate URLs to the actual website content for which wget is no match.

Or it’s just otherwise JavaScript-dependent website. Wget can’t parse that.

I just turn off JavaScript and then right click works again.

I can take a screenshot and then have it automatically OCR the text. Hell, I can take a picture with my phone of my chicken scratch handwriting and have it OCR.

And as someone who remembers buying OCR software from OfficeMax for $40 that barely worked, that’s pretty amazing.

What are you using to OCR screenshots? I have lots of old screenshots and I’d love to OCR them and find notable things I worked on and took a screenshot of.

Tesseract is one tool that can do it.

I have an iPhone and it just sorta does it automatically. If it thinks there’s text it will put yellow corners around it and let me copy it to my clipboard. On my Mac I can just start selecting text and it will figure it out.

Or reader mode or page info or… well, anything. All it does is annoy the user when tripped.
