I actually opened the browser's Developer Tools and used the Elements panel to copy text from the button elements. Many times.


So did I.

And since I don't do webdev for a living, most of my quite frequent use of Developer Tools is to work around this kind of nonsense - non-copyable text, obscured text, layout breakage, etc. Second biggest use case is to unbreak web forms that fail silently or for bogus reasons. This happens surprisingly often.
