A quick place to copy/paste text, images, etc? Its easy. Just open a new tab, paste the following in the address bar: data:text/html, <html contenteditable> and press Enter. Voila! You can save the file as an HTML page or bookmark it for quick access. This works in Firefox, Pale Moon, Opera and Chrome (not IE). via The Windows Club: How to use Firefox, Chrome, Opera as a Notepad
