Chrome allows websites to write to the clipboard without the user’s permission
From the chrome bug[0] it seems like this was changed to work without a gesture because the new tab page needs to copy text for a Google Doodle...<p>So instead of changing their new tab page to require a gesture like all other sites... they decided to allow any website to copy text into the clipboard. Nice.<p>I think copying into the clipboard needs an overhaul—even with a gesture. Don't you hate when news sites add a "- from XYZ" to your clipboard? That shouldn't be possible. I'm not sure <i>how</i> you'd fix this, but it should be fixed.<p>[0] crbug.com/1334203
