For inspiration, ask google "what program is used to paste without formatting",
and see references to PureText, Pure Paste, DevComrade, and built-in
shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+V.
And AI Overview notes your approach as well:
"For immediate, no-install solutions, pasting into a quick-access tool
like Notepad or using the browser's address bar temporarily removes
styling."
