re: being prevented from copying the text -- one can just use Stylus + the following stylesheet

    * {
      -webkit-user-select: text !important;
      user-select: text !important;
    }
+ others for saving Instagram pictures, removing hangouts.google.com background, etc

It is incredible how much more palatable the web becomes with uBlock Origin + uMatrix + Stylus. Not optimistic for the web in the long term, though.

There are websites which can and will manipulate the text you are copying. I am aware of at least one news site which will replace the copied article text with a short summary and a link to the article.
