How long do you think it will be until Chrome/Google for all intents and purposes removes basic copy paste functionality on webpages? (sopuli.xyz)

Don't think it can. The copy paste function is a function of the operating system not the application.

    Clipboard is provided by the OS, but application chooses how to integrate with it.

    When you select text and hit ctrl-c or click copy in the context menu, it's all done by the application. And it may choose to remove/disable this feature.

    Applications (and websites) can definitely allow / deny copy/paste into specific text fields; I'm not sure if they could disable it for the entire browser as a whole but I can't imagine they'd ever do so even if it's possible.

    Maybe not completely 100% locked down, but what about making it difficult to access for non-technical users? Also what about chrome mobile browsers? On mobile it is much easier to block copy and paste right?
