What you can try:
1) disable js (per Jonathan, also).
2) take a screen shot and print it.
3) use a service, like: https://www.printfriendly.com/

I think Jonathan's answer is probably the one you
need. Javascript allow a site to restrict and control
all sorts of things. But sometimes CSS seems to also
work to interfere with copying. In that case you
can go to View - Style - No Style (or whatever
the equivalent is in Edge). That will give you a
plain webpage with plain text displayed in your
default font. It will also mean that each item is
usually arranged vertically. That makes it easy to
read and easy to copy because the text is just in a
simple block, like Notepad.

I actually do that quite a bit just for readability. So
many sites design primarily for mobile, with fonts of
16-18px high and triple line spacing. It's like reading
a billboard from 10 feet way. So I switch to no style
and get 13px Verdana in neat, compact lines that
I can read easily.

javascript.

there are plugins to block the copy-block, or you can disable
javascript, which will likely cause other problems rendering the site.

Thanks to all. So far I print the page to PDF &
copy the text from there.

Just use Firefox; there are addOns for this (I use "Right-To-Click" but
it's XUL so it no longer works.) Probably Chrome also has the same kind
of addOns. MAYBE those run in Edge, maybe not. Printing to PDF is kinda
extreme...

We make tons of the stuff from coco oil & other
chemicals. The end product contains betaine
(30%), glycerine & salt. Betaine gels to an
intractable solid above 35%.

And I'm guessing that's where the "35% pure" comes in :-)

To kill/prevent roots invading the drains we use
Chromium & Copper salts. Or Roundup. Or a hot
KOH/water/detergent mix.

Apparently coconut can be used to make biodiesel.

Only by the Green fanatics who want to pay a
premium. Coconut has Palm oil as a serious
competitor because harvesting the latter can be
automated.

In Indonesia, where the temp is above 25degC, the
locals blend coconut oil with diesel directly and
use this to run their putt-putts.

Highly polluting and highly cheap. They strangle

Coconut oil solidifies below 25degC.

So the link you posted, is a bit misleading.

The "strength" is 35%. It's diluted with water, or is
soluble in water so that's one way to dispense it.

The "purity" is addressed in this article. A couple
of impurities define the side effects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocamidopropyl_betaine

CAPB is obtained as an aqueous solution in concentrations of about 30%.

Typical impurities of leading manufacturers today:

* Sodium monochloroacetate 5 ppm
* Amidoamine (AA) 0.3%
* dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) 15 ppm
* Glycerol 3%

The impurities AA and DMAPA are most critical, as they have been
shown to be responsible for skin sensitization reactions. These by-products
can be avoided by a moderate excess chloroacetate and the exact adjustment
of pH value during betainization reaction accompanied by regular analytical
control.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwitterion

And CAPB made the list here. Even gold made the list.
Nickel is nasty (I know several cashiers who have to wear gloves).

I must have missed that in Chem class, that an "inner salt"

the 3D shape of the thing (stereochemistry).

Did you try disabling script? I don't enable script. It
copied fine for me without any special efforts. The
page is mostly just plain HTML, but there is code
to disable the context menu:

-----------------------------------------
script language=javascript type=text/javascript
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
document.oncontextmenu=function(e){return false;}
document.onselectstart=function(e){return false;}
}else if(window.ActiveXObject){
document.oncontextmenu=new Function('event.returnValue=false;');
document.onselectstart=new Function('event.returnValue=false;');
}
/script
noscriptiframe src=""/iframe/noscript
________________________________________________

I'm guessing the noscript iframe is supposed to
screw up people who disable script, but it doesn't.

Still, you can use the main edit menu. If you use
Firefox you can also set this value to false in
about:config -

dom.event.contextmenu.enabled

While you're there, look at the other "dom.disable"
and "dom.event" settings. Even if you want to enable
javascript you don't have to put up with that
nonsense.

But watch out. The mozilla prefs are a ridiculous mess.
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled set to false prevents
hanky panky with the context menu. But if you
want to stop them hiding your staus bar in popups
you have to set Dom.disable_window_open_feature.status
to true and if you want to stop them changing status
bar text you have to set
dom.disable_window_status_change to true.

True and false can be confusing. "Yes don't
negate the positive state". The Mozillians have gone
to great lengths to stop people trying to control their
own browser. One could theorize that the prefs are
just old and need to be reorganized, but even more
recently created prefs have been designed to be
confusing.
The best example of that I know of is the option
to block 3rd-party images. Mozilla's overlord, Google,
was not benefitting from people knowing that
external files could be blocked from loading. so the
Mozillians changed the setting from
network.image.imageBehavior to
permissions.default.image AND
they changed what the different settings options
meant. So overnight nearly everyone was led to believe
they could no longer block ads and external tracking
web bugs, because the setting they had chosen was
deliberately broken. To this day, as far as I know,
there's no other pref that starts with "permissions".

If it were me I think I would have just downloaded
the page and cleaned out the images/script. It's nicely
laid out in a way that's hard to mimic with plain text.
