Completo e funzionante
Ho provato diversi sistemi per proteggere le immagini, ma nessuno si è dimostrato davvero efficace come questo plugin. Non solo blocca il tasto destro e impedisce il trascinamento delle foto (cosa che fanno quasi tutti), ma gestisce anche aspetti più complessi come verificare se la console è aperta, se si accede direttamente al file ecc... Quello che mi ha colpito di più è la semplicità: installazione immediata, nessuna configurazione complicata e risultati visibili da subito. In più, funziona perfettamente anche con i plugin di cache.
