I'm so old that I remember websites often had right clicking disabled so people couldn't copy the page text or wreck their bandwidth by hotlinking images.

Today that is achievable by nesting the content inside 10 layers of overlapping divs so nothing of value can be selected and copied to the clipboard. Instagram does this, you have to go into Dev Tools and find the exact DOM node to save an image.



hard to hide from Developer Tools or Firefox's Page Info for media but sad that we've been pushed to this.
