Protection Settings

These settings are on the first options tab for both plugin and module.

Alert Type
  • Popup: a dialog box over the page (default)
  • Toast: a small notice in a corner
  • Alert: the browser's own alert box
  • None: block the action with no message
Toast options (only when Alert Type is Toast)
  • Toast Position: top-left, top-center, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, bottom-right
  • Toast Duration: how many seconds it stays (1 to 30). Default: 4
  • Toast Background Colour
  • Toast Text Colour
  • Toast Accent Colour: used for the icon and progress bar
  • Toast Width: example 360px
Which devices?
  • Enable Mobile: Yes/No
  • Enable Tablet: Yes/No
  • Enable Desktop: Yes/No

Turn a device off if you do not want rules on that device type.

What to protect
  • Screenshot Detection: optional phone screenshot signal. Default: No. Not perfect on every phone.
  • Elements: choose Entire website, Images only, and/or Links only. Hold Ctrl/Cmd to pick more than one.
  • Exception Selectors: CSS selectors that stay free (example: .my-gallery, #comments)
  • Allow Forms and Editors: keep Yes so people can type in forms and use editors. Default: Yes
  • Disable Selection: stop selecting text on the page
  • Disable Image Dragging: stop dragging images to save them

With Allow Forms and Editors on, inputs, text boxes, dropdowns, and common editors (TinyMCE, CodeMirror, Joomla editors) stay usable. Normal text and images inside a form can still be protected.
