    Clipboard API and events

  • This is what was in my clipboard:

    Hello, this message is in your clipboard because you visited the website Web Platform News in a browser that allows websites to write to the clipboard without the user’s permission. Sorry for the inconvenience. For more information about this issue, see https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/182.

    Raw browser/feature support data from caniuse.com

  • It doesn't work in Firefox because it hasn't implemented ClipboardItem as of v104 (https://caniuse.com/?search=ClipboardItem)

    But I suspect Firefox will still allow the developer to run

        navigator.clipboard.write('hello world')
