Image from store Force Enable Text Selection

Description from store This extension re-enables the ability to select text that has been disabled via CSS using the "user-select" property. I made this extension because Chegg Homework disables the text-selection ability for no reason that I can understand. This extension will allow you to select the text in the Homework Help section of their website and anywhere else that this feature has been disabled. This extension does not enable text selection for websites that have disabled text selection via javascript. I am, however, happy to look into adding this ability if there is a need for it. <3

(2024-03-08) Anonymous Anonymous: Worked perfectly for me. It may not work in all cases because there is more than one way to prevent text selection on a webpage.

(2024-01-07) Sherjeel Khan: Extension does what advertised, though requires a page refresh for it to work which in some cases make it not viable for me. Still it does what it says it does, 5 stars if Mr J-26 adds an update removing the need to refresh the page. Though this seems unlikely as the developer last updated in 2019.

(2021-02-04) Eugene _: In my particular case it did the job perfectly! I've tried others like "Allow copy" and "Simple allow copy" which couldn't help! Using Kiwi browser on Android 7.
