Overview
You try to copy some text and get "Right-click is disabled", or drag an image and get "Dragging is disabled"... frustrating, right?
ClickFree is a Chrome extension that unlocks right-click blocking, copy protection, drag blocking and text-selection blocking on web pages in a single click.
Click the extension icon once and every restriction on the current page is lifted. Click again to restore it. That's all there is to it.
No ads. No data collection. No background activity.

How it differs from similar extensions
| Extension | Ads | Permissions | Background activity | Toggle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical right-click unlocker | Yes | Access to all sites | Yes | X |
| ClickFree | None | activeTab only | None | O |
Because it uses only the activeTab permission, it works only on the current tab where you clicked the icon. It does not monitor every site in the background.
