About Insert, Don't Paste
View and insert the text in the clipboard into the active tab's focused input area.
Many web applications provide text input features, but their text editing capabilities are often minimal compared to standard text editors. The web application I am currently using for work, which involves training LLM generative AIs, also has limited editing capabilities and is difficult to use. Additionally, it lacks a dark mode, causing eye strain.
Furthermore, likely due to concerns about users pasting raw output from chatbots that may contain hallucinations and logical inconsistencies, this web application penalizes pasting altogether. As a result, work takes unnecessarily longer, benefiting no one—not the clients, the administrators, or the workers. It's a completely counterproductive approach.
I have reported this issue, but have received no responses for weeks. Therefore, to escape this frustrating situation, at least for myself, I decided to create a Chrome extension that uses DOM manipulation to 'insert' clipboard contents into input fields, instead of pasting.
This method is similar to what Grammarly does, so it should not be penalized by the input tool.

All 20 Insert, Don't Paste alternativesData source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
