Hadn’t noticed that. I can upload a screenshot to a hosting service. Changes to text are retained.

Go to Chrome-Preferences-Extensions and delete the plugin.

Ah...screenshot. Hadn’t thought of that. I tried saving it locally as a file then uploading. Screenshot would work....obviously. Thx.

Can’t trust a picture any longer because of Photoshopping, and now can’t trust the printed word. Where are we headed?

It’s not editing. It’s just being able to put text that’s in a picture on your clipboard so you can copy it elsewhere. Nothing about the image has changed.

Thanks.

It’s Chrome>Tools>Extensions

I see I have no other extensions, so I will allow it to stay for awhile.

Note: before it gets installed into the Chrome browser a pop up window says the following...

“It can:

* Access your data on all websites
* Access data you copy and paste”

Sorry but installing a program that acts like spyware for the benefit of this feature is a detriment to your privacy.

And yes you can justify that if you want to... its only fair to point it out to the people that don’t realize that this application “phones home”.
