Bigger question is, why do browsers have this feature in the first place?

Does it have any use? Like at all?

Some sites think this will preserve their copyright or like to add some ads that whatever you copied came from site whatever.com

I made a website to test your typing speed and I felt dirty disabling pasting, but that feels like an actual good use-case.

Can confirm. Use this one myself. Because of course my bank considers pasting into the password field to be a security risk.

Just not allowing the clipboard is a legitimate security measure though. A lot of apps can read that memory space, so it's kind of a security black hole.l

Can I get one that does the same with autofill

You can disable autofill in the settings.

been using it for years :)

It doesn't work all the time from what I've found. There are still websites that bypass this and fuck with paste anyways.
