Description
Right Click Ban helps website owners protect their content from unauthorized copying. Whether you run a photography website, blog, or any content-driven site, this tool gives you control over how visitors interact with your pages.
When someone tries to right-click on your website, this tool blocks the context menu from appearing. You can also show a custom message letting visitors know that copying is not allowed.
What Can You Protect?
- Right Click Menu – Block the context menu for visitors, admins, or both
How It Works
After activation, head to the Right Click Ban menu in your dashboard. You will find eight simple toggle options:
- Disable right click for visitors
- Disable right click for admin
- Show or hide alert message
- Customize your alert message text
- Prevent text selection
- Stop image Saving
Each option works independently. You can enable just one feature or combine them based on your needs.
Who Should Use This?
- Photographers who want to protect their images
- Bloggers protecting original articles
- Artists showcasing portfolios
- Business owners with proprietary content
- Anyone who wants basic content protection
Browser Support
This tool works on all major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Special care has been taken to ensure Safari compatibility.
Lightweight Design
No external scripts or libraries are loaded. The protection code is minimal and runs only when needed, keeping your site fast.
