How to Copy Text on Sites that Block It

Every now and then I come across sites on the Internet that prevent you from copying the text displayed.

So if you have the same problem and you want to copy things from sites here you go some solutions to overcome this :

Method 1: Turn off JavaScript

Most websites use JavaScript to block mouse functionality. If you turn off JavaScript on the site temporarily or permanently, you will be able to copy the text.

• Firefox users can press F12, there on the Preferences icon to disable JavaScript in the menu that opens.
• Chrome users can disable JavaScript in the Content settings: chrome://settings/content
• Internet Explorer users can turn off JavaScript in Internet Option > Security > Zone > Custom Level > Active Scripting
• Opera users can disable JavaScript under Websites in the Opera settings: opera://settings

      

           

Method 2: The source

You can also display the source code of the website you are on  and copy anything from it without restriction.

Simply press Ctrl + u while you are on the site and the source code will be displayed. This works in most browsers including Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

It is still necessary to find the text or content that you are looking for in the source. Use Ctrl + f to jump directly to it.

There you can also find links to images and other contents that you will be able to save or copy now.

Method 3: Extensions and scripts

The third and final option is most suitable if you encounter sites regularly that prohibit right-click use or text copying :

RightToClick for Firefox disables JavaScript annoyances such as forbidding right-clicks or text selection on sites.

RightToCopy for Chrome Enable right clicking, selecting, and copying text on pages that prevent these features. Also, prevent clipboard text injection.

Allow copy Allow Copy will re-enable select, copy, paste and right click in any webpage using any copy protection.

You can find many extensions for these two browsers.

How to Stop the Automatic Update to Windows 10 and Banish the Update notification

Windows Automatically activates the Update which allows them to download Windows 10 without your consent and it takes almost 3 GB from your disk just so your laptop is ready in case you wanted to upgrade. 

That’s why if you’re on Windows 8 or 7 and want to stop your Windows from the automatic update to Windows 10 you need to follow these steps to disable it:

First Method:

You can download this freeware GWX Control Panel which is very simple and by just a click on Disable ‘Get Windows 10’ App it’s gonna make you get rid of of the Get Windows 10 icon that appears non-stop on your laptop.

And again with a simple click on Disable Operating System Upgrades in Windows Update it’s gonna disable the automatic update and the download of the system on your machine without you knowing about it.

Second Method:

Never10 is a simple tool that has a button that switches off all of Microsoft’s attempts to make you upgrade to Windows 10. You can enable or disable the upgrade with a single click.

If you install Never10 and later you decide that you want to upgrade, simply turn it off and run the update.

Microsoft is trying to push Windows 10 through Windows update, Never10 will run a check to make sure that your Windows Updates are current. If not, the app will install these updates for you and block Windows 10 in the process.
