We often search the Internet for information that interests us. The procedure for “stealing” text from other sites is known even to children. You just need to select the desired area with the mouse, right-click and select “Copy”. But some sites do not allow you to take information from their pages in this usual way. In this case, we will see a message that prohibits making a duplicate or there simply will not be the desired option in the context menu. In this article, you will learn how you can copy text from the desired web resource if it is not copied using the usual actions.
Turn off JavaScript
This Javascript can be disabled with a special browser add-on “NOScript”. You just need to download it from the add-on database and install it. But, it is better to try to turn off this script manually. Unnecessary extensions slow down the browser.
- I will show this setting in Chrome, since most of the people in the world use it. The text on my site remains blocked. So, you need to go to Chrome settings. To do this, click on the 3 vertical dots and select “Settings” in the drop-down menu;
- In the new window, scroll the page to the very bottom and click on the triangle of the “Advanced” command;
- In the continuation of the page that appears, find the “Site Settings” command and click on it;
- Now look for the JavaScript tab, click on it;
- In the new window, above the “Allowed” command, move the switch to the left. Now we have the inscription “Blocked” in this place;
- All you have to do is refresh the desired page and you can copy the text without restrictions. After this, you need to return everything to its place, otherwise some of the resources will be displayed incorrectly.
This method does not work on all sites.
It didn’t work on mine (but the first option did). Apparently, I made a pretty strong blocking plugin famous. But, having gone to other sites, it showed itself to be an excellent way to unblock the first option. I would like to add that if you have a desire to disable JavaScript permanently for some resources, then we will do the following:
- We go into the same window and after the switch, click on the blue “Block” link;
- “Add” appears on this button, click on it, and in the window that opens, enter the address of the site on which we want to block JavaScript.
- Now on the site from which you removed the JavaScript action, you will always be able to copy as much text as you need. But it is quite possible that some of the functions will not work on this resource until you remove its address from this list.
Forward message to wall
In order for the message you want to forward to get on the wall, you need to take the following steps (read about how to repost to the wall here):
- Go to the Messages section.
- Click on the correspondence where the desired entry is supposed to be.
- Click on the desired message.
- There will be a “Forward” button in the upper right corner. Click on it.
- The Dialogues section will open. Select any correspondence.
- Next to the Send button that appears, there will be an “Attach” button. Click on it once.
Downloadable programs
Didn't like the basic copying process? Do you have any complaints about limited functionality, convenience, or speed of the procedure? If yes, then you can always use free programs that are distributed through Google Play. The most popular ones are listed below.
Copy to clipboard
This application is suitable for those who often send links to material, rather than individual clippings from the text. For example, it will be very useful for Twitter users. After successful installation, Copy to Clipboard embeds an additional Share button into the toolbar, which is highlighted after text is selected. If you click on this button, you can choose who to send a link to a page in the browser, video or photo. As you can see, the utility is suitable not only for working with text.
CopiPe - Copy and Paste tool, Copy Text and Clipper
These applications are similar in functionality. They are convenient, easy to use, and allow you to use additional options. The only drawback is the lack of translation. The interface and buttons used for copying are in English. However, most modern users will be able to figure it out.
Which is better to choose from the three options presented? Let's look at the statistics on Google Play:
- Clipper – more than a million downloads, overall rating 4.4;
- Copy and Paste tool - although the program was popular before, it is now difficult to find in the application store;
- Copy Text on Screen – more than 500 thousand downloads, rating 3.9, mixed reviews.
The most reliable tool at the moment is Clipper.
aNdClip Free – Clipboard ext
The program is a notebook. After installing the application, everything that the user copies in the standard way automatically ends up not only in the clipboard, but also in this program. The user can sort the information he copied: create records, folders, mark important documents.
aNdClip Free is recommended for those who need to constantly save important links, phone numbers, and passwords. The program weighs only 1.1 MB and has received positive user reviews. The overall score on Google Play is 4.3.
Open printable version
1. Press ctrl + P to open the printable version. There is usually no protection in it, and you will be able to copy the information without interference. For example, in Google Chrome the information is displayed in the following form:
Initially, it was not possible to select the text, but when I checked the Simplify page checkbox, everything worked right away.
Why don't webmasters allow you to copy the text?
Of course, readers really don’t like this behavior from a blogger. But site owners prevent their texts from being copied not from their readers, but from their colleagues, other webmasters. And this happens so that the text remains unique. Otherwise, unscrupulous webmasters begin to copy your articles, paste them onto their sites, and at the same time even forget to add a link to your site.
This is bad for website promotion. So various plugins and scripts have been created that prevent people from copying text. A few years ago, I decided to check my articles for uniqueness, and discovered that most of my articles were not unique. I decided to check where copies of my articles are located through a special program.
Imagine my surprise when almost all of these articles were on just one site. And everything is just like mine, starting with pictures and ending with text. Moreover, there were no links to the original source. And it is necessary! I give permission to copy my articles. But, with a MANDATORY link to my website. Then I talked with the owner of the site where I found my articles and we resolved this issue peacefully (she put links to my site).
How to copy text from a comment
Of course, doing this from a computer is much easier. You just need to open the desired post, select the text and copy it using the usual methods. But what to do if you are on the road and only have your mobile phone at hand? There are a couple of options.
You can go to the post through the web version of Insta on your phone and copy it. If for some reason it is inconvenient to use the browser or you don’t want to, you can use a special bot. It's called @getcombot.
It works the same way as the @instasavegrambot bot; instructions will appear if you write /start to it. You just need to send the bot a message containing a link to the desired post.
You can track it through the task monitor when
the comments
. The link will be in the task queue. Typically it takes approximately 3-10 minutes to process and unload. It all depends on how busy the bot is. The bot sends a monitor of its tasks, so if necessary, you can check the status of your request.
At the end, the bot sends all comments on Instagram that were left under the post and were not deleted.
A great way to collect all the comments at once that will need to be processed on your profile. Helps increase sales and learn how to deal with customer objections if you do this regularly. And if you want to learn how to create interesting content and sell your products through Instagram, then a course from smm.school will help you. There is a lot of interesting stuff there, but we recommend starting with a course on selling on Instagram.
Types of text copy blocking on websites
Often, users only need to duplicate the title of a subheading or a small part of a sentence for search engines, so as not to write this text manually. But this cannot be done.
Blocking works in different ways:
- The most popular protection against copying text on web pages is when you cannot select a certain section of text. In this case, the block is not set to the context menu, but to the selection;
- It also happens quite often that you can copy text, but when you paste it in another place, a signature is added to the selected area. It often contains the url where the text or message of another kind was taken;
- The right mouse button does not work - this block is also quite popular on the Internet.
The last case is quite easy to deal with. To copy the desired piece of the article, select it and press 2 keys simultaneously CTRL + C. After that, paste it into a notepad or on another website using the hotkeys CTRL + V or right-click and select the “Paste” context menu item.
We use the phone
If you want to send via the installed VKontakte mobile application on your phone or tablet, then open the side menu and select “Messages” in it. Then open a dialogue with the person whose text you will forward.
Select what you want to send - click on one of them and hold your finger, then select the rest. The selected ones will turn blue, and their number will be written at the top.
To forward selected messages, click on the arrow at the top right that points to the right.
Sometimes there is a need to forward this or that message to one of your friends on a social network. Of course, you can simply copy the message and forward it to the right person, but this is not particularly convenient. In addition, it is not always possible to copy the desired message correctly. Therefore, quite often, developers of social networks provide this function, but, due to the not always user-friendly interface, some functions are very difficult to find, and as a result, it is difficult to use them.
