I’m curious, how does Google Docs paste from the clipboard when I click the “paste” button from within the Google Docs UI?
It's somewhat similar to how Firefox has disallowed auto-playing videos except on user permission or a user-triggered event.
Which has been mostly worked around by the bad actors, who use things like mouse-over or scroll to trigger the event.
Somehow I didn't even realize that's how they were getting around it! I just thought, "Dang, I thought I turned that crap off." Good callout.
