Prevent context menu in Edge when text is selected

Question

In its recent version, Edge shows a context menu when selecting text. Is there any way to prevent this behaviour with JavaScript? I tried window.oncontextmenu = e => {e.preventDefault();}; but this wasn't successful.

Answer 1

If you don't need to use this feature in Edge, you can disable this menu via specific setting in Edge.

Just follow these steps:

1. Naviagte to edge://settings/appearance in Edge.
2. Scroll down the page to the Context menus section.
3. Disable the option Show mini menu when selecting text.

Something like this:

In addition, you can also disable this feature on specific sites, depending on your needs.
