According to numbers of downloads of clipboard managers, it's probably much higher than that. But the reasoning doesn't stand. Like I said, they could remove all phony Chrome clones with massive analytics and calls home, of which there are dozens, with read and write storage permissions, internet permission, etc, the list goes on and on. And say only Chrome is allowed, or vetted browsers from known vendors, like Mozilla or Microsoft, they certainly should, but they don't do it.

Yet they pick on an essential feature for anyone using copy and paste hundreds of times a day.

There is much more danger in rogue browsers, by far, than in a clipboard manager.

The solution is absolutely obvious. It isn't what they decided. It is just the first beta, but we'll see.

It'd be ridiculous to need to have a text file always open in another application with constantly used bits of text, code, or info, and switch back and forth as needed multiplying a simple workflow by who knows how much in operations and time.
