Looks like a really good extension Joe, but the method ClearClipboard used to clear the clipboard will mean that it's never empty. ClearClipboardCompletely sounds better, I will try it.

Is it limited to specific Android versions?

[ChrisWard]

Tested and working, Android 10, single string. (APK)

[Joejsanz]

Yes, I was procrastinating for a few days because I couldn't completely delete the clipboard. I think there must be some way to do it, but I couldn't find it, I think you can do it.

I haven't tried it on other devices, but it should work on all of them, tested on Android 11.

[ChrisWard]

Really crazy that Google have left an often used facility insecure.

[Joejsanz]

As it is going, everything is restricting, it won't be long before it does. He is going to make it more difficult for us every time.

But we will find a way.
