This is not a shortcut but how to copy text from protected website chrome. If a website is copy-protected and you want to copy some text from it then this method is super helpful.
First method
Right-click on the page and select Inspect option. The developer tool will open.
Now select the ‘ Element’ option from the panel and now right-click on the paragraph which you want to copy. You can find the text now and double click on the text to copy.
Second Method
Many websites block right-click through Javascript and here is the second way to copy. In the address bar write ‘view-source:’ before the URL.
Now you will be able to see the source code of the page. Now paste the code to any HTML to Text editor online. You can now copy the required text.
This trick was just for your help and not for any unauthorized use.
