Easiest thing to do is open the dev tools by pressing Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) or F12 (PC). You can then use the search (magnifying glass, top left on the dev tools toolbar) to select the element.
If they have just changed the oncontextmenu handler (which is the most straightforward way to do it), then you can remove their override thus:
window.oncontextmenu = null;
Otherwise, if it is attached to individual elements, you can get all the page's elements, and then remove the handler on each one:
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
for(var id = 0; id < elements.length; ++id) { elements[id].oncontextmenu = null; }
Or, it seems you can turn off such scripts; via an extension in Chrome or an option in Firefox - in the advanced box for javascript options, switch off 'Disable or replace context menus'.
Disabling the "SETTINGS > PRIVACY > don´t allow JavaScript" in Chrome will enable the right click function and allow the Firebug Console to work; but will also disable all the other JavaScript codes.
The right way to do this is to disable only the specific JavaScript; looking for any of the following lines of code:
which is a transparent image spreding on the full width and height of the screen all you need to do is go to the elements inspector and find the div and delete it.
You could use javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null);
open Browser console and run the code above. It will turn off blockin' of mouse right button
The way I solved this was delete the event listeners on the page. After I did that, I was able to copy the text and paste it in to my processor of choice.
I built upon @Chema solution and added resetting pointer-events and user-select. If they are set to none for an image, right-clicking it does not invoke the context menu for the image with options to view or save it.
javascript:function enableContextMenu(aggressive = true) { void(document.ondragstart=null); void(document.onselectstart=null); void(document.onclick=null); void(document.onmousedown=null); void(document.onmouseup=null); void(document.body.oncontextmenu=null); enableRightClickLight(document); if (aggressive) { enableRightClick(document); removeContextMenuOnAll('body'); removeContextMenuOnAll('img'); removeContextMenuOnAll('td'); } } function removeContextMenuOnAll(tagName) { var elements = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName); for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) { enableRightClick(elements[i]); enablePointerEvents(elements[i]); } } function enableRightClickLight(el) { el || (el = document); el.addEventListener('contextmenu', bringBackDefault, true); } function enableRightClick(el) { el || (el = document); el.addEventListener('contextmenu', bringBackDefault, true); el.addEventListener('dragstart', bringBackDefault, true); el.addEventListener('selectstart', bringBackDefault, true); el.addEventListener('click', bringBackDefault, true); el.addEventListener('mousedown', bringBackDefault, true); el.addEventListener('mouseup', bringBackDefault, true); } function restoreRightClick(el) { el || (el = document); el.removeEventListener('contextmenu', bringBackDefault, true); el.removeEventListener('dragstart', bringBackDefault, true); el.removeEventListener('selectstart', bringBackDefault, true); el.removeEventListener('click', bringBackDefault, true); el.removeEventListener('mousedown', bringBackDefault, true); el.removeEventListener('mouseup', bringBackDefault, true); } function bringBackDefault(event) { event.returnValue = true; (typeof event.stopPropagation === 'function') && event.stopPropagation(); (typeof event.cancelBubble === 'function') && event.cancelBubble(); } function enablePointerEvents(el) { if (!el) return; el.style.pointerEvents='auto'; el.style.webkitTouchCallout='default'; el.style.webkitUserSelect='auto'; el.style.MozUserSelect='auto'; el.style.msUserSelect='auto'; el.style.userSelect='auto'; enablePointerEvents(el.parentElement); } enableContextMenu();
If the page you are on has a text or textarea input, click into this input (as if you want to enter text) then right-click and select 'Inspect element'.
On the very left of the Chrome Developer Tools toolbar there is a button that lets you select an item to inspect regardless of context menu handlers. It looks like a square with arrow pointing to the center.
