Chosen solution

Have you tried it with Microsoft Edge? Some browsers don't support "clipboard.read"

Otherwise, perhaps try "dom.events.asyncClipboard.dataTransfer" (it has to be set to true) or the "clipboard.read" extension.

Did you grant access to the "clipboard-read" permission?

I do not see any option to grant access to clipboard-read permission. How do I do it?

Try "var promise = navigator.clipboard.read();" Let me know if it works, otherwise, I can look for another way.

Yes I have tried read and readText both methods, it throws error
