I am not sure the browser is free of blame here, getting invisible characters copied together with the text I selected goes completely against my expectations.

this could be considered a handy feature in a different scenario, the browser shouldn't be responsible for checking if the text you copied was visible.

Just get a half decent terminal, many have precautions in place for copy/paste.
