MS Edge Version: 114.0.1823.37

For some reason, I no longer have the Web Select option in the right-click context menu. I still have Web Capture, but Web Select is no longer there. Did MS remove this feature, or is it a bug?

    This isn't work for me since some of the web texts are non-selectable. C+S+X can easily solve this problem. I might change another browser

    Hi everybody, with a good news!

    I found a workaround to the issue in question, by adding the extension Copycat on Google Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copycat/jdjbiojkklnaeoanimopafmnmhldejbg)

    Once installed, you can select a test, right-click and select Copycat / Selection -> Plain text and the pasting it wherever you need to.

    It's working for me now. Hope it will be a good solution for you all as well :)

    For the EDGE team, we're still hoping you'll solve the problem and make web select available for all versions again.

    Thanks so much for pointing that out. I had been using 'Web Select" for many many months the way it was, and I did not for a few months since about the time of your posting, and it changed where to find it.

    You do not know how many hours and days of frustrating research on plants you have saved me, as I can now narrow my search on web pages for certain bits of information. Thank you again mdyoung12

    Hey Pockey, did you reinstall Windows 10 by yourself?

    Thanks!
