This is not a bug issue, please tell me if the format is inappropriate, but I think the information would help lots of people like me.

I have confirmed that at least on firefox, allusion web clipper with addition of re-enable-right-click add-on (it's github repo) would enable clip images from sites like instagram and pinterest. ("add to allusion" would appear in the context menu, and clicking on it would add the selected image into the browser capture directory)

Additionally, I think other similar add-ons would do the same, but this right-click add-on I have tested doesn't.

The discussion on this reddit string is relevent.

Maybe we could add it to somewhere in the doc? You have to admit that clipping from pinterest and instagram would compose bulk of the activities if enabled.

That is due to copyright. They alter your context menu, not a big, it is by design
