What is Copy Guard?
Copy Guard is a simple Edge add-on that notifies you if your copy action has been hijacked. It compares your selected text with the data added to your clipboard and triggers a native notification if there is a difference. It also includes a settings page with options for whitelisting and an about section. The latest version includes a check for offscreen and hidden elements.
