RELATED: What's New in Chrome 79, Available Now How to Enable Clipboard Sharing However, the beta feature is available now in the stable version of Google Chrome 79.

Google may soon release this as a stable feature that doesn’t require a flag in the future. It can change or disappear from the flags page altogether at any time. Like all flags in Chrome, this is a feature that’s still a work-in-progress.

Select a device to send text directly to its clipboard. It’ll list all the devices with the flag enabled that you’re signed into with your Google account-on Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, and Android. They are listed in the manifest and specified as required permissions or optional permissions.Once you’ve enabled the flag, you’ll find a new “Copy to your device” option when you right-click highlighted text on a web page. Permissions are known strings that refer to a Chrome API or match patterns that grant access to one or more hosts. document.execCommand('paste') - which reads the user’s clipboard and puts it into the focused input element on the page - won’t work at all in Chrome unless it’s run from an extension. Protect extensions and their users by implementing explicit, minimal and optional permissions. If not, you’ll need to resort to a browser extension. Limiting permissions establishes an extension's capabilities and reduces possible incursion to data if the extension is compromised by an attacker. Permissions should be restricted to only what is needed for its functionality. Now that Manifest V3 has launched, we strongly recommend that you use it for any new extensions that you create.Īn extension's ability to access websites and most Chrome APIs is determined by its declared permissions. The page you're viewing describes extensions using Manifest V2.
