Since when we can't copy fics from FF.net?!

This is most aggravating. :|

I understand that this is supposed to protect authors from plagiarism, but I happen to like copying and pasting my favorite fics on Word so that I can read them when I have no Internet access or even after the fics are deleted by the authors, or to study foreign languages. D

It's been like that for months now. If you want to get a fic, you should install a program called FanFictionDownloader here. It allows you to download fics as pdf and it's a lot more convenient than copying and pasting since you can tell it to download the entire fic at one go.

Ooh, I see! Thank you for the tip!

What browser do you use? You might be able to download an add-on or extension to make the text selectable again. I use Chrome and I've got a user style which makes it work just like before.

(I hated the changes too, because I have a multi-language pop-up dictionary extension and I need to click on words to get a definition).

I use Firefox, but I also have Chrome. What add-on/extension do you use?

[freecell_it_is]

I use the Stylish extension, which is available for both Firefox and Chrome. I think the style I'm using is this one.

There was also a bit of discussion about this and other options here.

Thanks! :D (I'd completely forgotten about ffdotentrants, lol)
