To enable copy and paste in Chrome, first ensure that it's not restricted by any extensions. Check your extensions by clicking the three-dot menu, selecting 'More Tools', then 'Extensions'. Disable any suspicious extensions. If the issue persists, try using Chrome’s experimental features. Type `chrome://flags` in the address bar and search for ‘Clipboard’. Enable ‘Clipboard’ flags and relaunch Chrome. Finally, for sites with restricted copying, temporarily use a context menu script or service that bypasses restrictions, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and policies.
