My clipboard often has private stuff in it, unrelated to the site I'm visiting.

I don't like the idea that clicking on a button (like "add comment" on HN) would gives a site potential access to what's in my clipboard, without any indication or affirmation that that's ok.

It feels like something that will be exploited, if only by the curious.




The clipboard api only includes 'cut' and 'copy' commands. There is no way (except via extensions) to access the clipboard.


Thanks for the correction!
