Disable paste protection in Chrome DevTools?
In recent versions of Google Chrome, I've encountered a highly frustrating issue where pasting into the developer console is disabled. This is incredibly inconvenient as I rely on the developer console daily. I may have to consider switching browsers, which I'd rather not do.
Update 2024
You can disable it by typing allow pasting in the dev console.
What is it?
Ostensibly, it's this experimental feature in DevTools:
If you are a new DevTools user and you attempt to paste code, the Sources panel now shows you the Do you trust this code? dialog and the Console now displays a similar warning. Paste only the code that you understand and have reviewed yourself. To paste, type "allow pasting" when prompted. Once pasting has been allowed once, the warning will never be shown again.
Apparently this was proposed back in 2014.
How do I turn it on/off?
Open DevTools > Settings (top-right corner) > Experiments > Toggle Show warning about Self-XSS when pasting code
....however in Chrome 120 (December 2023) I'm able to paste self-0wning code into the console with no warnings or messages, curious.
I'm curious if anyone else gets a message - try copying+pasting the below script.
