I just paste through a plain text editor(i.e. paste into a plain text editor, verify and copy the bits I want, then paste it in it's intended destination). I know not ideal, but at least that way I can see and verify everything before pasting it somewhere important. I'm sure there are some hacks one can do with rich formats, that some people might try to take advantage of.


But do you press Ctrl/Cmd + C three times or more to make sure it takes effect?


Why are you watching me???


I do that within a new browser tab url bar, since the shortcut is quite annoying to type.


Sending your clipboard data to Google if you have predictive type on
