So your controlled intranet software can have many good features using clipboard, and you are still protected. FF have a switch to enable clipboard access to javascript, but it is not selected by site, so it is really insecure. I didn’t think I would say that, but MS is much better for developers and for security in that matter.

Mitchell, Stanford University on Java Script Isolation and Web security. He mentioned out similar points and vulnurabilites in Facebook and other websites with advertisments on it.

But anyway, i guess all the updated browsers now prevent access to any such features.

If I click on a button that says “copy to clipboard” on a social media site, I want it to work!
