It's pretty lame that Mozilla's addons site still doesn't show source code which is guaranteed to correspond to the binary you're installing.
Anyway, I went and read the source on github (which probably corresponds to the extension one can install) and while this part seems very straightforward this other part exceeds my understanding ๐ (i'm not suggesting it is malicious, i just don't understand everything it is doing there or why it is necessary).
What I was really looking at the source for was to see if they were simulating keystrokes (and inserting plausible delays between them) to defeat a more determined anti-pasting adversary, or if they were simply suppressing the hostile website's onPaste handler so that pastes can happen as normal. And: they are doing the latter.
I wonder if any paste-blocking websites detect and defeat this extension yet?
