Vimb - the vim like browser is a webkit based web browser that behaves like the vimperator plugin for the firefox and usage paradigms from the great editor vim. The goal of vimb is to build a completely keyboard-driven, efficient and pleasurable browsing-experience.
In ~/.config/vimb/config add set javascript-can-access-clipboard=false
Go to a Stack Overflow page, click a "Share" button, and click "Copy link"
Expected behaviour
My clipboard is unaffected.
Actual behaviour
The website is able to modify my clipboard.
Maybe javascript-can-access-clipboard only prevents read access? I'm more concerned about write access, because I have a bad habit of pasting things into my terminal, and websites being able to affect what I paste into my terminal seems dangerous.
If the current behaviour is intentional and won't be changed, the man page should be updated to clarify only read access is prevented.
